Product Information
A complete and authoritative history of one of Britain's elite forces. The Royal Marines' achievement, toughness, professionalism and enterprise puts them in the same league as such other elites as the SAS and the Paras. This is the stirring and fascinating story of their rise from poor pay, lack of public regard and promotional structure, to a Special Force, brilliantly and authoritatively told. The Royal Marines's roles in many central military campaigns, including Northern Ireland and a decisive role in the recovery of the Falklands, are recorded in thrilling detail and brought to life with previously unpublished material from the Imperial War Museum and the Royal Marines Museum.Product Identifiers
