From deserted beaches to occupied harbors, Commando plunges you into the fierce, daring world of Britain’s elite raiders during World War II. Peter Young tells the story of soldiers who left behind the trenches to strike deep into enemy territory—men who would become legends for their courage, resilience, and audacity.
With vivid detail, Young explores their dauntless raids, their brutal training, and the moral weight of operations where failure often meant death. Drawing on firsthand accounts and archival research, Commando reveals both the glamour and the grit of irregular warfare: the exhilaration of surprise attacks, the fear in the shadows, and the unbreakable bonds formed in the crucible of danger.
For readers of military history and those who believe that real heroism is forged, not born, Commando is a stirring tribute to men who took the fight to the enemy long before the world knew what Special Forces could be.
