5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive and easy to read,
By Dimitrios (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Moroccan Goums: Tribal Warriors in a Modern War (Contributions in Military Studies) (Hardcover)
The Goumiers and their units (called GMTs, "Tabors" and "Goums") is a very interesting chapter of the Second World War, not only for their colourful appearance but also because they took part in some of the most brutal battles and helped decisively in their outcome. Most people know the Goumiers from their action in the final Cassino battle, in May 1944, but as Edward Bimberg says in his book they served also in many other engagements in Tunisia, Sicily, Corsica, Elba Island, Provence, Alsace and Germany. The book is recommended for anyone seriously interested in the subject but although it contains an order of battle of the various "Goums" in the Appendices it doesn't have a single map, so a good background in World War II history is required. It contains also only three black and white photos.
