Division Leclerc: The Leclerc Column and Free French… por Merlin Robinson
This particular number in this Osprey series is rather different, in that it's as much a military life of Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, as it is a history of the unit he created and led. Apart from organizational details and combat history, you will also get a good examination of the the organizational politics of the unit, and the stresses of combining those men who stayed loyal to Petain and those who took up the Cross of Lorraine. Frankly, one might like to see Osprey publish more histories of divisional-sized units in this format.… (mais)
This was an engaging read, largely because the author kept a very tight focus on the division, giving only enough of the background necessary to put things in context. One hears a lot about this unit, but usually references to it are limited. A solid effort, and well worth picking up.
