Commando! - The M/Z Unit's Secret War Against Japan (Hardcover, New)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

This little-known story of Australia's M/Z Unit commandos, and the
part they played in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, is a
fascinating account of daring, clandestine operations conducted by
the Allies deep into enemy-held territory. M Unit personnel were
secretly landed to set up coastwatching posts and radio stations to
report on Japanese shipping movements and bombing flights heading
to raid Allied positions. Members of the Z Unit carried out
assigned raids into enemy controlled areas, and also attacked
targets of opportunity. Many commandos were delivered on their
missions by U.S. Navy submarines that sneaked into dangerously
shallow waters to put the men ashore--and then returned to pick
them up. Other operatives were inserted by PT boats, Catalina
aircraft, parachute, and snake boats. Many of these operations are
still classified.
