The first volume of a two part set on the history of the Galician
Division is based on over 25 years research by accomplished historian
Michael James Melnyk who has sourced additional new and hitherto unseen
original material on all aspects of the Division's history from archives
and private collections in Europe, Australia, North American and Canada.
Complemented by the individual accounts and contributions of many
veterans which add an engaging personal dimension, this new definitive
two volume account supersedes his earlier divisional history published
in 2002. As a recognized authority on the subject he has produced the
most reliable and exhaustive account to date lavishly illustrated with
many rare and unique photos and crammed full of details, notes and
references in this last ever book to include direct and new material
from the participants.
