“If you love books enough, books will love you back.” –Jo Walton

Synopsis

The British Royal Marines Commandos (RM) are one of the greatest special forces in the world. Their toughness and professionalism puts them in the same league as such other elites as the SAS, the U.S. Marines and the French Foreign Legion. This is their stirring story, authoritatively told by Major General Julian Thompson. In the 18th and 19th cent. the RM served at sea but were denied advantages open to their naval shipmates -- including promotion to the highest rank and the lion's share of any prize money. This all changed in the mid-20th cent., when the RM transformed to Commandos. The book includes many new photos and previously unpublished material. Eyewitness accounts and personal narratives bring the history of the RM vividly to life.
