Allied Special Forces
Among the special forces deployed in WWII, none were more potent and deadly than Britain’s Commandos and the U.S. Army’s Rangers. Their formation, training, equipment and exploits are described in rare detail in Ian Westwell’s remarkably well-illustrated Allied Special Forces.
The Royal Navy Commandos spearheaded the attack on Vaagso, and went on to take part in amphibious operations from Dieppe to the crossing of the Rhine. U.S. Rangers played major roles in the invasions of North Africa and Normandy, the battles of Brest and the Bulge, the Philippines, and rescued POW survivors of the Bataan Death March.
These two vaunted special forces come to vivid life in a volume that showcases their indispensability to the Allied war effort.
