Description

The Battle of Arras, 1917, is a pivotal yet overlooked chapter in military history. In "Cheerful Sacrifice", Jonathan Nicholls sheds light on this crucial spring offensive, which proved to be the most lethal and costly British battle of World War I. During its thirty-nine days, the average casualty rate was significantly higher than at either the Somme or Passchendaele. This brutal conflict has been described by survivors as "the most savage infantry battle of the war". Nicholls' meticulous research incorporates a wealth of eye-witness accounts, providing a nuanced and authentic portrayal of this pivotal event. By examining the Battle of Arras in detail, Nicholls enhances our understanding of military history, offering a compelling narrative that is both informative and thought-provoking.
