1940 Les Troupes Coloniales: Dans la Campagne de France

1-193710

8 x 10, 12 maps, and over 300 pictures and photos.

This book takes up the accounts already given in a book entitled Memorial de l'Empire - a la Gloire des Troupes Coloniales (Memorial of the Empire - to the Glory of the Colonial troops). Remaining in relative obscurity, at this time the work did not draw attention to the Colonial Troops' and Senegalese Tirailleurs' exploits during the Phony War and the French Campaigns, covering from September 1939 to June 1940; this book finally provides the information to fill in this important history.
