Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good+. 1st Thus. DJ and boards show very light shelf wear. ; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar. Translated from the Dutch by S.L. Salzedo. ; 9.1 X 5.7 X 0.7 inches; 80 pages; Most studies of the 1940 Western Campaign have tended to focus on a narrow range of topics, principally those relating the German forces or the epic of Dunkirk. The publication of this title is aimed at redressing the balance by providing a detailed account of the operations of the Dutch army during this campaign. The author begins by presenting a detailed account of the Dutch army prior to the campaign, including its plan of campaign. He also includes a fascinating chapter discussing the geography of the Netherlands from a military point of view. The remainder of the text consists of a daily account of the Dutch army's operations down to regimental or independent battalion-level. In doing so, the author clearly demonstrates the combat capability of the Dutch troops and the brave and tenacious defense with which they met the German invasion. Appendices provide a detailed order-of-battle, and sample orders. Nº de ref. del artículo: 20106
