OverviewSee below for English description. Apr's leur triomphe sur la cr?te de Vimy, les soldats canadiens deviennent les troupes d'assaut de l'arm?e britannique. Malgr? les tirs d'artillerie f?roces, les gaz toxiques et l'explosion de bombes d'artillerie, ils ouvrent la voie ? la victoire, bataille apr's bataille. Le co't de leur sacrifice est ?norme pour ce jeune pays. Cependant, de cette dure ?preuve ?merge un nouveau Canada. Canadians earned the admiration of the world - and a reputation as soldiers who could get the job done - after their hard-won victory at Vimy Ridge. From that date in early 1917 until the Armistice in November 1918, they proved themselves again and again in legendary battles such as Passchendaele, Lens and the Hundred Days' offensive. De Vimy ? la victoire documents their decisive battles to push back the German lines in the final years of the Great War. The book features a scrapbook design with sidebars and extended captions, and first-person accounts describing life at the Front. Includes numerous haunting photos and illustrations complemented by original maps.

Hugh Brewster a concoct? encore une fois une autre ressource historique d'une grande valeur.? Quill & Quire Reviews Dieppe: Canada's Darkest Day of World War II (Dieppe - La journ?e la plus sombre de la Deuxi?me Guerre mondiale) Dieppe can be described quite simply as superb... archival photographs, first-person accounts from surviving combatants or memoirs, and the connective tissue of his beautifully crafted text tell a story that is equal parts horror and valour. The Globe and Mail At Vimy Ridge: Canada's Greatest World War I Victory (La bataille de Vimy) At Vimy Ridge is a splendid introduction to a major event in Canadian history, and Brewster has created another valuable historical resource... Few copies will sit for long on library shelves. Quill & Quire, starred review Author InformationHugh Brewster a toujours ?t? captiv? par l'histoire. L'id?e d'?crire des livres sur ce sujet ?tait donc un r?ve de longue date. Petit, il habitait ? Georgetown, en Ontario, tout pr's de la biblioth?que municipale qu'il fr?quentait parfois quatre ? cinq fois par semaine. Dans la maison de ses parents, il n'y avait pas de t?l?vision pour inciter les enfants ? lire. L'id?e s'est av?r?e efficace. Plus tard, il a fait des ?tudes universitaires et obtenu un dipl?me en anglais. Il a ensuite travaill? dans l'?dition, d'abord chez Scholastic puis il a fond? Madison Press. On lui doit entre autres: La bataille de Vimy, Le d?barquement ? Juno et Dieppe.
