While it is technically true that French forces took part in the African battles of World War II, the author could at least be honest enough to point out they they took part in the battles on the side of the Axis.

Not totally true. The French Foreign legion manned the "box" at Bir Hacheim at the end of Gazala line in 1942 during the battle of the same name. Rommel wound up isolating them, but they continued to put up a hell of a fight. French mountain troops fought with distinction at Monte Cassino in 1944. LeClerc's armored division fought well in France, although DeGaulle's interference with Eisenhower made it a mixed blessing.
