'A truly incredible collection of stories of true heroism.' - Bear
Grylls 'A barnstorming account of heroism and fortitude from
individuals who epitomise the Commando ethos. It's a splendid
read.' - Sir Ranulph Fiennes 'Monty brings us a glimpse of what the
green beret really means and the bonds it creates.' - Dan Snow
'This book is the epitome of those Commando qualities - courage,
determination, unselfishness and cheerfulness in the face of
adversity.' - Aldo Kane There is only one colour that matters, one
that unites us all. And that colour is green. The Royal Marine
Commandos have become a byword for elite raiding skills and
cutting-edge military operations. They are globally renowned, yet
shrouded in mystery. With unique insight and authority, Commando
captures the essence and heart of this revered military unit then
and now, exploring their role patrolling the high seas and policing
coastlines around the globe, and revealing their rich history and
what it means to win and wear the legendary green beret. With full
and exclusive access to every level of the organisation, author and
former Royal Marine Monty Halls tells the real stories of
extraordinary individuals in latter day conflicts and on global
operations: from the Mountain leaders in the Falklands War to high
profile drugs busts in the Gulf; from amphibious raids in Iraq to
feats of ultra endurance to raise money for their brethren in the
veteran community. These are the modern vanguard of a legendary
unit, descendants of the misfits and eccentrics who were so
effective and feared in WW2 that Hitler famously ordered them to be
shot on sight. Accompanying a major BBC series on the 40th
anniversary of the Falklands War, Commandos is an unforgettable
glimpse into a rarified world of danger, drama, and valour.
