British commandos are among the most celebrated soldiers of the Second World War. Their daring, ingenuity and bravery have given rise to an almost legendary reputation that makes it difficult to appreciate fully their role and their true value as fighting men.Stephen Bull, in this in-depth study of commando tactics and history, seeks to dispel the myths and the misunderstandings that surround them, and he places these elite troops of 70 years ago in the context of their times. He also demonstrates that the idea of the commando took time to develop and that commando operations were far from always successful. Commando tactics amphibious, mountain, close quarter were forged through the often-painful experience of raids and combined operations. And commando tactics and organization remained in a state of flux throughout the war as new situations and challenges arose.Stephen Bulls vivid account will be essential reading for anyone who is interested in commando fighting techniques and the early history of special forces.

With Hitler's army rampaging across Europe, Winston Churchill ordered the creation of a special fighting force – the Commandos. These valiant men were volunteers drawn from the ranks of the British Army, formed into a Special Service Brigade and put through a rigorous but highly effective training programme. Over the course of World War II they would see action in every major theatre of operation and are credited with numerous feats of gallantry during the D-Day landings. Although many units were disbanded after the war, the Royal Marine Commandos have maintained the standards of this elite fighting formation to the present day. Angus Konstam explores the history of the Commandos during their formative years, providing detailed descriptions of their training, weapons and equipment. Battle reports are accompanied by specially commissioned Osprey artwork and historical photographs, offering readers an in-depth analysis of some of the most famous fighting units in the British Army's history.

Merriam Press World War 2 Biography1st Lt. Joseph Fournier was KIA on Peleliu's Bloody Nose Ridge, one of the courageous officers leading an infantry company of the 1st Marines in September 1944. He died exactly twenty-four months to the day of accepting his commission as an officer in the USMCR. Seventy years after his death the need to record his story came from a Marine who served in Lt Fournier's Company, a niece's need to fulfill her mother's wishes and newspaper clippings kept by his mother - almost lost to a shredder. A life tangled with famous names and organizations, Lt Fournier, known as "Commando Joe" to his Marines, was a man who would still fit in with the Marines of today. He was a Sea Worthy Marine, a Raider before the battalions were fully functional and a member of "The Old Breed."26 photos.
