Title: Churchill's Sacrifice of The Highland Division. France 1940. NEAR FINE COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
Description: Brassey,, [1994]. 8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece, 25 plates on 16 and endpaper maps; blue cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. The 51st (Highland) Division was one of the finest units of the regular army at the outbreak of war. Sent to France, it became a political pawn in Churchill's determination to maintain French military involvement, and despite a magnificant defensive campaign against overwhelming odds, was eventually forced to surrender to Rommel at St. Valery-en-Caux, Normandy in 1940. This long overdue account includes much veteran and eye-witness material. EXTREMELY SCARCE.
