47 Royal Marine Commando: An Inside Story 1943-1946 tells the story of 47 Royal Marine Commando during the Second World War based on personal accounts written by veterans who served in this formidable unit. It is a story of young men who were to play a key role in freeing Europe from Nazi tyranny. From the D-Day landings in Normandy to fierce battles in Holland, some were taken prisoner by the enemy and sent to camps until freed at the end of the war in 1945. Included are eyewitness accounts of the Normandy landings, involvement of the RAF, Royal Navy and American forces, 10 Inter Allied Commando and the effect on local populations who got word of the actions in which this Commando took a major part. Formed from 10th Battalion Royal Marines and reinforced by volunteers from several parts of the British armed forces, they distinguished themselves by sheer determination and professionalism. Over 900 men served in or were attached to this Commando, keeping their overall strength up to 420. Many gave their lives never to return home so others might live to tell their story.

At the age of seventeen, Kenneth McAlpine ran away from the Repton school to join Churchill's new elite special force, the Royal Marine Commandos. As the youngest member of the youngest commando force, after three months he found himself fighting on the beaches of Normandy. In We Died With Our Boots Clean, McAlpine tells his own unique story of World War II and his highly eventful military career. From an unusual encounter with Montgomery and Patton, a concerted attempt to kill a sergeant major and his best friend’s arrest for swearing at the Queen of Holland, McAlpine paints a fascinating picture of commando life and the harsh training that prepared soldiers for frontline combat in an elite unit. Full of absorbing anecdotes such as his time in a military prison and a rescue operation at a concentration camp, this book is an essential part of a World War II enthusiast’s library.

On 25th September 2011, three Royal Marines killed an injured Taliban fighter. Trialled by court-martial, two were acquitted, but one, Sergeant Alexander Blackman, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The ruling provoked outrage among fellow Marines, the establishment and much of the general public who felt that the verdict was an appalling miscarriage of justice. On that fateful day, Sgt Robert Driscoll, in accordance with army procedure, called in an Apache helicopter for air support amidst fierce fighting with a large group of Taliban insurgents, which were causing considerable injuries and fatalities to the two patrols of Royal Marines led by him and Sgt Blackman. With Sgt Blackman's blessing, Sgt Driscoll recalls in detail key events and factors leading to the killing of the fighter which, unbelievably, were not provided to the Court by Blackman's defence team. This is a compelling, unique insight into one of the most controversial rulings in recent military history and the real-life horrors of engaging at close quarters with the Taliban.
