SynopsisThe origin of the Royal Marines dates back to the formation of the Admiral's Regiment in the 17th century. Since then Marines have participated in more battles on land and sea than any other branch of the British Armed Forces. Their 'elite' status rests in the commandos - the one formation that is trained to be delivered to battle by helicopter or landing craft from ships. This book examines the units, organization and operations of the Royal Marines, focusing on their activity in various theatres of World War II (1939-1945) and their post-war operations in Northern Ireland, the Falklands (1982)and the Gulf (1990-1991).
Book originally published in 1994. It follows the same format as other Osprey books of the period, black and white photos and color uniform plates; newer titles have mostly color photos. A bit disappointed on the brevity of the sections dealing with the Falklands and Northern Ireland; could have been more narration and some more pictures/uniform plates but it's not the end of the world. Been wanting this title for years, glad to finally get it.
