Vimy Ridge and Arras: The Spring 1917 Offensive in Panoramas

In April 1917, Allied guns pounded German positions near Arras with almost three million shells. During the early stages of the succeeding offensive, British and Canadian troops achieved unprecedented advances, capturing a huge swathe of enemy territory, including the famous Vimy Ridge. After the initial shock, however, the Germans quickly recovered to employ inspired battlefield tactics that crushed all hope of breakthrough, despite the injection of Australian military flair. In this major new account, Peter Barton showcases over 50 rediscovered British and German panoramic photographs of the battlegrounds. 312pp, profusely and superbly illustrated with photographs, amps etrc. This is an Ex-Library copy in virtually unused condition. Fairly minimal markings. Makes for an excellent study/research copy. A heavy book requiring extra postage in some circumstances.
