Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover/Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Will Irwin presents a detailed operational history of the Jedburgh teamselite Allied special operations units parachuted into occupied France following the D-Day landings of June 1944. These three-man teams, composed of Am…erican, British, and Free French officers, worked with the French Resistance to organize sabotage, intelligence gathering, and guerrilla warfare against German forces. Drawing on military records, interviews, and wartime archives, Irwin reconstructs the dangerous missions behind enemy lines that supported the Allied advance after the Normandy invasion. The narrative reveals how these small units coordinated resistance networks, disrupted rail lines and communications, and harassed German troop movements. The book highlights the origins of modern special operations doctrine and the multinational cooperation that defined Jedburgh operations. A respected work of World War II special forces history, it is widely cited in studies of OSS and Allied irregular warfare. Dust jacket has a tear lower spine, shelf wear.
