The difficult fate of the Galicia Division, which became the first infantry division in the elite Waffen-SS, and later transformed into the 1st Ukrainian Division of the Ukrainian National Army, as well as its servicemen who sought to pave their own way in the fight for the independence of Ukraine, is still perceived by many through an ugly echo of Soviet propaganda or post-Soviet ignorance, provoking not only false assessments, but also discord. A military historian with 30 years of experience in the US armed forces, retired Colonel Mikhail Orest Logush, relying on a huge source base, in particular on materials from American intelligence, offers an unbiased view of the combat path of this unit. The book is addressed to researchers of political and military history, military personnel, volunteers, and everyone who is interested in military affairs and studies the impact of war on society.
