The book delves into the formation and operational history of the Slovak army during World War II, highlighting its origins as an ally of Nazi Germany following Slovakia's split from Czechoslovakia. It examines the army's structure, equipment, and the challenges it faced, including a lack of specialists. The narrative follows the Slovak forces from their involvement in the invasion of Poland to their campaigns on the Eastern front, culminating in the Slovak National Uprising of 1944, which reflected growing disillusionment with the government and the war.
