Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first special service forces of World War II were known as the Devil's Brigade. Ferocious and stealthy combatants, they garnered their moniker from the captured diary of a German officer who wrote, The black devils are all around us every time we come into line and we never hear them. Ha…ndpicked U.S. and Canadian soldiers trained in mountaineering, airborne, and close-combat skills, they numbered more than 2,300 and saw action in the Aleutians, Italy, and the south of France. Co-written by a brigade member and a World War II combat pilot, the book explores the unit's unique characteristics, including the men's exemplary toughness and their ability to fight in any terrain against murderous opposition. It also profiles some of the unforgettable characters that comprised the near-mythical force. Conceived in Great Britain, the brigade was formed to sabotage the German submarine pens and oil storage areas along Norway's coast, but when the campaign was cancelled, the men moved on to many other missions. This World War II tale of adventure, first published in hardcover in 1966 and made into a movie not long after, is now available in paperback for the first time. The 'Devil's Brigade' was the name given to US/Canadian special forces in World War II, who saw action in the Aleutian Islands, Italy and the south of France. This account was co-written by a brigade veteran and includes profiles of many of his comrades in this famously rugged unit. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition brown cloth boards with blindstamped front cover decoration and black spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preface; Acknowledgments; Epilogue; Index and Abou…t the Authors. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates plus black-and-white maps interspersed throughout the volume. A vintage former owner bookplate is neatly affixed to the center of the blank first free front endpaper. All pages are in very fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "The First Special Service Force was raised under joint United States and Canadian auspices, containing men of both nations, during the Second World War. Its degree of training, at full brigade strength, was equalled by few and surpassed by none. It fought continually, in the cruelest of terrain, against murderous opposition and under the eyes of highly skilled soldiers and observers, men (both Allied and Axis) trained in battle to gauge the worth of other fighting men. Their praise of its performance is unique in the annals of modern war. It was the direct ancestor of the Green Berets, today's front line warriors in Asia. Any military unit is a strange thing. Devotion to a particular leader, a special kind of training, a particular insignia, any of these will mark a body of men under discipline, setting them off from their kind and by extension, from the rest of the world. Nevertheless, an army (navy or air corps: there have been many crack naval and air units) exists to fight. The measure of esteem granted a unit by other professional soldiers rests on its ability to fight better, to outperform its enemies consistently, on any or all occasions. It makes no difference how many gallant songs it has, how many "skull-and-crossbones" insignia, or how gorgeously it appears on parade. Eventually, its real ability must be proved in battle. This has been so since the days of Thermopylae and the Tenth Legion, and its is as true today as when the English infantry destroyed the Old Guard at Waterloo. This book is the story of such a unit. The Force always took its objectives, despite obstacles or losses, and the losses were appalling. Further, and this is important, it often operated alone, without air or even artillery support. As a unit, it had no sentiment. There were no songs, no bravura and no flag-waving. The men, both American and Canadian, were trained killers, marchers and climbers of fantastic skill and endurance, without reverence for anybody or anything. In rear areas, they were apt to be a disaster and a disciplinary problem of the first magnitude. Their officers were picked men also, who led from in front, and were trusted by their men to an extraordinary degree. No gulf separated officers and men, from General Frederick down. One gave orders, the other accepted them and that was the only difference. The Force was raised under strange circumstances, originally conceived by men like Pyke, Mountbatten and Churchill, men not of common fiber, some civilian, some military. They also are part of its story . It is worth noting, too, that the Force was never used for its original and designed purpose and, in turn, that it never utilized the special vehicles which were constucted solely for its own use. This is the universal story of war, where nothing ever ends as it was planned. Finally, the Force was disbanded, its lesson apparently forgotten. But not quite. As the world grows dark with war and the rumor of war, more voices cry out for multi-national troops, highly trained to keep the peace. If the United Nations ever raise a body of men for this purpose, so urgently needed, an honorable precedent exists. This is the story of that experiment, and the reader can judge for himself its success or failure." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
