Seller's Description:
Fine in fine jacket. A fine, fresh, unread as-new copy in equally fine dust jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. 500 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with maps and photos. In depth study of the Battle of Vimy Ridge that began on April 9, 1917 during World War One. How did the four-day clash that had little strategic impact on the Allied war effort, become elevated to a national symbol of Canadian identity? Prominent Canadian military historian Tim Cook examines the battle and the way memory of it has evolved over 100 years. That April day was the first time the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together and more than 10, 000 of them were killed or injured during the four-day operation. When it was over, the Corp's victory solidified its reputation among both allies and enemies as an elite fighting force. After the war, Vimy was chosen as the site for the striking monument to mark Canada's sacrifice and service.
