520    On Easter Monday 1917 with a blizzard blowing in their 
       faces, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps in France 
       seized and held the best-defended German bastion on the 
       Western Front - the muddy scarp of Vimy Ridge.  The 
       British had failed to take the Ridge, and so had the 
       French who had lost 150,000 men in the attempt.  Yet these
       magnificent colonial troops did so in a morning at the 
       cost of only 10,000 casualties.The author recounts this 
       remarkable feat of arms with both pace and style.  He has 
       gathered many personal accounts from soldiers who fought 
       at Vimy.  He describes the commanders and the men, the 
       organization and the training, and above all notes the 
       thorough preparation for the attack from which the British
       General Staff could have learnt much.  The action is 
       placed within the context both of the Battle of Arras, of 
       which this attack was part, and as a milestone in the 
       development of Canada as a nation. [Elib]
