The French are landing! The forgotten invasion of Carrickfergus in 1760

This is a nice little booklet if you can find it - tells the story of the descent by the French in 1760 Northern Ireland. Kronoskaf on it.
This is the French force (from Kronoskaf)
land force under the command of Brigadier-general M. de Flobert (as of October 1759 but now reduced to only 1,345 men)
British garisson the 62nd foot.

    Excellent sir. Good to see Charlie's book get the recognition it deserves.

    I wonder if anyone can help. As a resident of the Isle of Man, I am currently researching the Battle of Bishops Court which ended Thurot's invasion of Carrickfergus. I am having difficulty in finding a copy of this book and wondered if anyone knows where a copy could be purchased. Failing that a copy on loan would be most appreciated.
