Title: First to Fight
Review: 'Poland 1939: The Birth of Blitzkrieg' is an excellent example of the Campaign series of books from Osprey Publishing. Written by the consistently good Steven Zaloga (an expert on this campaign) the narrative is interesting, informative and flows nicely along. He comprehensively dismisses the myths of Polish lancers charging panzers and the destruction of the Polish Air Force before breakfast on the 1st of September.The maps are very good, the detail on the 3D views is excellent, and the photographs are judiciously chosen. The colour plates are also good, although I would rather that the accompanying captions spoke more about the action shown rather than summarizing the information available elsewhere in the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
