Description

The battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917 saw Canadian troops hurricane a 14-kilometre long escarpment that used to be believed to be impregnable. This used to be the primary time in Canada’s history that a corps-sized formation fought in combination as a unit underneath its own leadership. Canadian troops persevered underneath heavy fire to take the ridge. The battle has since been much celebrated in Canada, as historians and descendants searching for to give an explanation for the large losses that military and political leaders accepted in a war that produced few gains for any nation. Tom Douglas recounts the events of this battle, and his narrative is accompanied by over 50 footage, drawings, and paintings by Canadian war artists.
