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 defence with which they met the German
invasion. Appendices provide detailed order-of-battle, and sample
orders. This is a significant contribution to the literature
available on the 1940 campaign in France and the Low Countries.
