Royal Marines Commandos
£9.20£10.40 (-12%)
The Royal Marines were originally formed under the auspices of the Royal Navy to guard its sailing ships from harm. They are proud of their history and origins but the Navy heritage is fading. John Parker charts how the units have moved away from their nautical beginnings to develop, over time, into the most versatile force in the British military, containing one of their most elite brigades.
The Royal Marines Commandos have, over the past few years, developed into the premier fighting organisation on land, sea and air. This history deals with events associated with the Royal Marines and subsequently in their commando role, starring in all major conflicts including Italy, Malaysia, the Borneo confrontation with Indonesia, and more recently Afghanistan.

My dad was a commando during WW11 and this book was a very illuminating read with plenty of unexpected facts and info,a very interesting read. And well worth the money.

There was a good level of detail throughout, if you’re looking for a good general overview this would be the ideal book. It was delivered before the estimated date and in very good condition.
