roadmap to the importance and relevance of the surviving veterans’ biographies. The chapters are dedicated to each of the six surviving veterans and arranged in the following order: Hagist’s research and findings, photograph of the veteran, a thought-provoking sketch by Eric H. Schnitzer rendering what the veteran might have looked like as a young soldier, a drawing of the veteran’s house at the time of interview, and Hillard’s original interview transcript. Hagist does an excellent job using pension and census records, as well as witness testimonies not available to Hillard, to align the veterans’ testimonies with events, actions, locations, and battles they might have experienced. The photographs by themselves are worth the proverbial thousand words. His research adequately eliminates elements of exaggeration or failing memories that likely occurred during Hillard’s interviews. The reader might find a degree of dynamic equivalency on Hagist’s part (i.e., applying the author’s sense of what the veteran might have sensed in the American Revolution versus trusting the words or phrases expressed by the veteran) when explaining how revolutionary era soldiers behaved in certain situations. However, Hagist’s research does not distract from Hillard’s interviews. On the contrary, his research and findings enhance our knowledge of the service these veterans provided during our nation’s birth. This book is recommended for anyone that enjoys combining history with genealogical research to validate or enhance research conducted in previous eras. Brook Allen, Fort Gordon, Georgia ALL CANADA IN THE HANDS OF THE BRITISH General Jeffrey Amherst and the 1760 Campaign to Conquer New France Douglas R. Cubbison, University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma, 2014, 283 pages D ouglas Cubbison’s exploration of Gen. Jeffrey Amherst recognizes an important fact—that most successful British Army officers seamlessly transitioned from leadership on conventional battlefields to leadership of population-centric style 146 counterinsurgencies. Too often those two activities are posed as antithetical, but All Canada in the Hands of the British illustrates campaigns marked by successful command and control and a population-centered strategy. He argues that Amherst’s use of three columns placed his force in the best position to defeat the French Army and to control the population. Much of Cubbison’s text focuses on the campaign of Amherst subordinate James Murray. Murray excellently secured the French population: “Murray’s progress was slow and deliberate, as he landed strong detachments ashore at every parish (or township), swore the inhabitants to neutrality, and disarmed the Canadian militia, on which the French depended for resistance.” Long before great military thinkers and strategists codified military treatises, Cubbison reveals officers who excelled at nested modes of warfare—traditional combat and nonviolent activities. What is most impressive, however, is Cubbison’s integration of illness and disease into the exploration of a well-led military campaign. While it is not a major theme in the book, Cubbison’s attention to illness and fatigue is impressive. Scholars like Jared Diamond and Alfred Crosby have made military commanders look like nonfactors, who luckily gained victory solely because of disease, while Cubbison joins authors such as Elizabeth Fenn and John McNeil, who place a higher emphasis on how commanders managed disease. The merger of meticulous campaign analyses written with a mind for operational language, extensive primary source research, and a substantive argument that should influence Seven Years War historiography places Cubbison in a class by himself and makes his book a must read for military professionals. It portrays eighteenth century leaders whose capability as leaders should still impress today’s Army. Joseph Miller, Orono, Maine January-February 2017  MILITARY REVIEW
