hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Conway [Published Date: 2012]. Hardcover, 128 pp. First UK edition, (with full number line). In very good condition/ no dust jacket. Illustrated paper over boards have light scuffing to edges. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Black and white illustrations. [From back cover] The commandos were instigated by Winston Churchill in 1940 as a raiding unit to destroy selected targets in German-occupied Europe. Recruits for this 'special service' were all volunteers, drawn from the British Army, and later, from the Royal Marines and other Allied armies. Commando training was extremely demanding - men had to be exceptionally fit, and show imitative, mental toughness and adaptability. The training courses were designed to cultivate these qualities and simulate real battle experiences, and commando schools were established in the remote Scottish Highlands for this purpose. This book draws on authentic training manuals, lecture notes and analysts as well as post-action reports to give a real insight into this highly specialised fighting unit, demonstrating how commandos were taught to live, fight and move on offensive operations, initially as raiding parties and later as skilled assault infantry. The range of documents covers physical conditioning and fieldcraft skills, assault and sabotage techniques, weapons and explosives training, small arms and close combat, to produce a revealing portrait of this elite force.
