'Canada's Hundred Days: With the Canadian Corps from Amiens to Mons, Aug. 8 - Nov. 11, 1918. Part 3, Cambrai' Summary
John Frederick Bligh Livesay's 'Canada's Hundred Days' offers a compelling and detailed account of the Canadian Corps' involvement in the final stages of World War I. The book focuses on the pivotal battles of Amiens, Arras, Cambrai, and the subsequent pursuit of the retreating German forces. Livesay, a soldier who experienced these events firsthand, provides a deeply personal and insightful perspective on the horrors of trench warfare, the camaraderie among the soldiers, and the sacrifices made during these critical months. Through vivid descriptions and poignant anecdotes, he brings to life the challenges and triumphs faced by the Canadian soldiers as they fought their way to victory. The narrative provides valuable insights into the strategic importance of each battle, the complex tactics employed, and the impact of the war on the Canadian psyche. Livesay's account is not merely a chronicle of military operations but also a poignant reflection on the human cost of war, the enduring spirit of the soldiers, and the historical significance of Canada's contribution to the Allied victory.Book Details
