First Airborne Task Force: Pictorial History of the Allied Paratroopers in the Invasion of Southern France

Rating:
Summary: A different sort of De Trez Book
Review: In his latest offering, De Trez has gotten away from showing his impressive collection, and added an incredible amount of period photos. This volume is almost 3 times the size of either of his previous ones. Tons and tons of photos, organized by unit are here. Of course, there is more of his collection but in a much nicer ratio. An excellent research tool for collectors and historians.

Summary: Excelent book on the airborne ops. in Operation Dragoon
Review: My father was a member of the Task Force Headquarters and made the invasion of Southern France so I bought a copy of the book for his birthday as a special surprise. He spent several days pouring through the pages looking at pictures of people he knew and place he experienced. I had no idea that this book was so thorough and informative with so many veteran's first hand accounts. As a military historian, I was overwhelmed with the sheer volume of information and images crammed into this book. I can honestly say that this book was well worth the money!
