Название: Cheerful Sacrifice - The Battle of Arras 1917 Автор: Jonathan Nicholls Издательство: Pen and Sword Год: 2006 Формат: EPUB Страниц: 272 Размер: 4,8 МБ Язык: Английский
Cheerful Sacrifice tells the story of the spring offensive of April - May 1917, otherwise known as the Battle of Arras. Probably because the noise had hardly died down before it started up again with the explosions at Messines, shortly to be followed by the even more horrible Third Ypres - remembered as Passchendaele - the Battle of Arras has not received the attention it deserves.

Wooten remedies that oversight with the first full-length treatment of this subject.
