Allied Special Forces - Commandos and U.S. Rangers

By the time that World War II erupted in Europe in 1939, both the German Army and the major Allied forces had had much experience in the training and deployment of special forces. As was proven during the war, none was more potent and deadly than Britain’s Commandos (Churchill’s ‘Hand of Steel’) or the US Army’s Rangers (motto: ‘Leading the Way’). Their formation, training, equipment, and exploits are described in rare detail in this remarkably well-illustrated book.
