True Stories Of The Commandos

Zusatztext

<p>Raised in the dark, post-Dunkirk days of 1940 to carry the war to the enemy, in five short and violent years the British Army Commandos established a reputation that has made the name Commando the mark of the fighting man.</p><p>The Commandos began as small-scale raiders but their operations grew in size and destruction as the war progressed until, in the end, there were four full Commando Brigades; superb units which fought in every theatre of war, from Norway to Burma, from the coast of France to the islands of Yugoslavia. The Commandos were disbanded in 1945-46 but reformed in the 1970s, and in 1982, about 1000 army Commandos set sail to fight in the Falklands War.</p><p>The long and proud history of the army contains accounts of many fine and distinguished units but few can equal and none exceed the story of the British Army Commandos.</p>
