Previous owner's name/details to front free endpaper. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. 227pages. The author is among a few historians that believe as much can be learned about the conduct of World War 2 by the examination of what was planned but did not happen as can be learned from what actually did happen. His detailed research, in England and America, into the development of amphibious raiding forces presents a fascinating and unrevealed insight into the extraordinarily haphazard way in which this form of irregular warfare evolved on both sides of the Atlantic.
