Commando (1955) By Brigadier Durnford-Slater
 
John Durnford-Slater, who raised and trained the first commando unit in 1940, became an outstanding and individualistic Commando leader. He led it into action in dangerous and exciting exploits that have made the Commandos world famous - (his) exciting and forthright memoirs tell not only of the heroism and the dangers they faced but evoke both the grim and the occasional light-hearted sides to war. This is a story of warfare by one who was there; a remarkable fighting man's own remarkable story."
