Description
The infamous Commando raids were Hitler's response to Britain's daring new guerrilla force. In 1944, Adolf Hitler issued an edict ordering the annihilation of all men operating against German troops in these raids. Led by eccentric and idealistic volunteers from across the Army, Navy and Air Force, the Commandos were Britain's first special forces unit. They would confront the Germans on some of the most dangerous missions of World War II. After the war, the Royal Marines continued this tradition, engaging in virtually every military scenario involving British troops. John Parker tells the story of the Commando units' formation and their unique training, which is still awarded to those who pass through it today. The book features accounts from men at the frontlines of the biggest battles of the 20th century, offering a fresh perspective on one of Britain's most controversial fighting units.
