Book Description/Synopsis:
In this new book, Gavin Mortim er reveals the 12 legendary Special Forces
commanders of World War II. Prior to the war, the concept of 'special forces'
simply didn't exist, but thanks to visionary leaders like David Stirling and Charles Hunter our very concept
of how wars can be fought and won has totally changed. These 12 men not only
reshaped military policy, but they led from the front, accompanying their
troops into battle from the sands of North Africa
to jumping on D-Day and infiltrating behind enemy lines. Mortim er also offers a skilful analysis of their
qualities as military commanders and the true impact that their own personal
actions, as well as those of their units, had on the eventual outcome of the
war.
