The First World War battlefields to the north of Arras - including
Vimy Ridge - are among the most famous and most visited sites on
the Western Front, rivalled only by those around Ypres and the
Somme, and this clearly written, highly illustrated guide is the
ideal introduction to them. Visitors can trace for themselves the
course of each battle across the modern landscape and gain a
fascinating insight into the nature of the fighting in the area -
and the wider conflict across the Western Front - throughout the
war. The book covers the key battles fought in the northern sector
of the Arras front, including the 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge and
battles at Villers au Bois, Oppy Wood and Gavrelle. Expert guides
Jon Cooksey and Jerry Murland have devised a series of routes that
can be walked, biked or driven, explaining the fighting that
occurred at each place in vivid detail. They record what happened,
where it happened and why, and point out the sights that remain for
the visitor to see. Their guidebook is essential reading for
visitors who wish to enhance their understanding of the war on the
Western Front.
