Paperback. Condizione: New. Courcelle, Patrice (illustratore). While small in numbers, the Belgian Army played a vital role in World War 2 that is often overlooked. Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium, which led Britain to declare war in August 1914, should have been swift and fierce yet the unexpected heroic defence, against great odds, of Belgian fortresses, frustrated the German Schlieffen Plan for a thrust to Paris and a lightning victory. The plucky Belgian resistance proved successful in buying time for French and British troops to mobilize and report to the front, where the Belgians would then go on to fight, stubbornly defending the northern end of the Allied trench line for the rest of the war. In this work, discover the story of this determined Army, from their organization and commanders, to their uniforms and equipment. The only main combatant army of World War I not previously covered by Osprey, this volume will be an important addition to any enthusiast's collection, accompanied by detailed artwork and archive photographs.

Condizione: NUOVO. Milano, Su licenza Osprey Publ.- Libreria Editrice Goriziana cm.17x23,5, pp.94, brossura copertina figurata con bandelle. Collana La Grande Biblioteca Militare del'900, 38. Pubblicazione della Gazzetta dello Sport. Nell'agosto del 1914, mentre l'Europa era sull'orlo della guerra, la Germania inviò un ultimatum al neutrale Belgio informandolo che ne avrebbe varcato i confini e intimando al governo del re Alberto I di non opporre resistenza. Questa piccola nazione, con il suo ridotto e antiquato esercito, scelse invece di combattere. Le speranze risultarono vane e il Paese fu presto invaso, ma la sua valorosa resistenza fornì alla Francia e alla Gran Bretagna il tempo sufficiente per mobilitare le forze. In seguito l'esercito belga, dopo essere stato ricostruito, mantenne il controllo del settore più a nord delle Fiandre sul fronte occidentale. E combatté sia contro l'offensiva tedesca di primavera sia nella successiva e vittoriosa controffensiva alleata. A cura di Maurizio Pagliano. Traduzione di Mario Pieri. Illustrazioni di Patrice Courcelle.
