USED VIMY

Description

“Vimy” by Pierre Berton. Hardcover.

Vimy has become an enduring Canadian myth marking, a turning point in Canada’s relations with the world and in the image Canadians have of themselves. As the author shows, it has become a historic milestone in the emergence from the colonial shadows as an independent nation.  Drawing on unpublished personal accounts and interviews, Berton brings home what it was like for the young men, some no more than sixteen years old, who clawed their way up the sodden, shell-torn slopes in a struggle they innocently believed would make war obsolete.
