Synopsis
Raised in the late summer of 1940 in Egypt, Nos 50, 51 and 52 Middle East commandos played an important role in the war in the Middle East. Accounts of campaigns waged in Eritrea, Abyssinia, the Dodecanese Islands and Crete have been drawn from the memoirs of surviving members of these commando units. Colonel George Young was the commander of No 50 and later No 52 commando units. Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Rose was second in command of the No 50 Commando unit and then of the amalgamated 50/52 unit. Charles Messenger is also the author of "The Commandos 1940-1946".

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. 1st 1988. Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. This book details the formation and wartime operations of early British special forces unitsâ"specifically Nos. 50, 51, and 52 Commandosâ"raised in Egypt during the summer of 1940. Drawing heavily from the memoirs of surviving veterans, the book chronicles their service across diverse and challenging theaters, including campaigns in East Africa, the Dodecanese Islands, and the Battle for Crete. The unique but largely unsung role played by the commandos in the war in the Middle East, 1940. Brown cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. 176 pages including index. Page browning else clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is sunned/faded to spine and slightly scuffed to rear panel. Packaged with care and promptly dispatched! Seller Inventory # 1832149
