An Authorised History
This is a remarkably detailed, authoratitive history of the Royal Marines. It begins where the last officicial history ended.
In the course of the 'rough, tough history of the Royal Marines', as Sir Winston Churchill has described it, they have manned guns in all the major actions of the Royal Navy and served ashore as commandos and raiders.
There were Royal Marine pilots with the Fleet Air Arm as well as anti-aircraft brigades, coastal gunners and an armoured assault group.
Ladd has written clearly and in depth of the many roles and exciting actions of the Royal MArines so that the reasder will understand exactly how they fought and how their techniques developed over six decades in which they were seldom out of action or deployed in readiness.
