Title: Battle of Arras 1917
Review: I bought this book as part of my genealogical research. I have an ancestor that served in the 4th Battalion Gordon Highlanders and died shortly after Arras in the spring of 1917. I wanted to learn more about the context, sequence, and details of the battle, as well as learn as much as I could about the role of the 4th Gordons in it.The book is well-written and helps the reader understand the flow of events. It captures the spirit of the participants. It contains details and other material that I simply could not obtain solely by reading the official history of the battle.Battle narratives are always fascinating and this book is no exception. Well worth the read if you are interested in WWI.
