About This Item
Guild Publishing, London 1985 hardcover, 6½" x 9½", with dust jacket AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket Kenneth Macksey's detailed research into the development of Amphibious Raiding Forces presents a fascinating insight into the extraordinarily haphazard way in which this form of irregular warfare evolved on both sides of the Atlantic. In his Introduction, the author says: "the causes of shortcoming in the publication of recent history are often the result not only of the demand to protect national security, but also the need to avoid defamatiomn of living individuals." Most are now dead and their endeavours, however well-intentioned or misjudged, can now be weighed in the balance (as can those of the unsung true heroes).
