Here is the exciting story of the Commandos and Rangers- whose bravery and daring throughout the most difficult engagements of World War II made them legends in their own time. Drawing upon first-had accounts and official records, the author illustrates how these elite corps utilized their special skills and weapons in beach reconnaissances, sabotage raids, and spearhead invasions. Contributions from the men who served with these forces, and detailed research into the records of the time, bring together the aims, training and operations against the background of campaigns in Europe, Africa and Asia. Their methods, weapons and special equipment are explained to show many novel features of their methods of warfare, but the book is mainly about the commandos and rangers themselves- their success and limitations.
