Description
The Battle and the Legend of Vimy Ridge is a new exploration of one of Canada's most defining moments in history. Tim Cook examines the battle that took place at Vimy Ridge in April 1917, which marked the first time the four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force fought together. The book delves into the significance of this battle and how it has evolved over a hundred years to become an integral part of Canada's national identity. The author draws on new material and photographs from official archives and private collections across Canada and around the world, uncovering previously unused resources by historians, writers, and filmmakers. This book is not just about a pivotal moment in history, but also about how it has been remembered and interpreted over time. Through his research, Tim Cook sheds light on the enduring power of Vimy Ridge as a symbol of Canadian identity and memory.
