Vimy Ridge 1917: Byng's Canadians Triumph at Arras by Alexander Turner

Vimy Ridge 1917: Byng's Canadians Triumph at Arras by Alexander Turner is an Osprey publication. The usual Osprey flourishes are here. The text itself is pretty short around 30,000 words. Unlike most histories the German side is dealt with in just as much detail as the British and Canadians. I was interested to see how the Canadian national myth would be dealt with. The significance for Canadians is described quite well also where it's a little inaccurate. Like that many specialists were actually British. The logistical network needed to supply the battle is explained.

Highly recommended!
