Description

A photographic history of elite units in WWII and Korea, including uniforms, equipment, and more.
 
America deployed a diverse group of special operations forces (SOF) throughout World War II and in Korea. These elite units quickly earned a redoubtable reputation and proved themselves adept at hit-and-run raids, gathering intelligence in long range patrols, rescuing POWs, and living and fighting in hostile environments.
 
This valuable study includes more than 100 rare and unusual photographs of the men, uniforms, special equipment, and insignia of these elite troops, accompanied by informative captions. Units covered include the Marine Raider regiments and Paramarines, Ranger battalions, “Merrill’s Marauders,” the Special Service Force, OSS teams, Naval CDUs, and ski and mountain troops. America’s Commandos is a key addition to the G.I. Series and examines some of America’s most feared and capable elite forces.
