After the war, Commando units of the Royal Marines engaged in virtually every military scenario involving British troops from 1945 to the present day.

1st edition dust jacket Fine octavo viii + 280pp., b/w pls., maps, appends., bibliog., index, Ostensibly a history of British Special Forces but includes some of the most inane, inaccurate & un-referenced nonsense ever seen in a 'serious' book. The Korean War chapter which repeats the 'Brainwashing' & POW ill-treatment myths demolished by Max Hastings is a gem. Author has also written on Satanic abuse & the Mafia. Recommended !
