Free France's Lion: The Life of Philippe Leclerc de Gaulle's Greatest General
Stock now available
The biography of Leclerc William Mortimer Moore was published by Casemate just before Christmas. Unfortunately the first consignment of books was incorrectly bound, but fresh stock has now arrived in the UK and the book has been attracting some good reviews:
'Moore demonstrates conclusively that Leclerc truly served as a lion of Free France. Anyone who mocks the French for lack of fighting spirit would do well to read this book about a fine soldier and his men, and learn a little of history.' Stone and Stone Second World War Books
