Product Description
Synopsis
No collection of Commando war stories, the very best in action and adventure, although born and bred in Britain, would be complete without plenty of issues resounding to phrases like 'cobber', 'drongo' or 'pom'. Yes, the Aussies and Kiwis are here, and they're about to put in a two-fisted, explosive performance. You'd expect no less from these larger-than-life characters that are guaranteed to bring out the best in any action-packed Commando yarn. For everyone whose comic-book battle lust has ever been stirred by Nazi cries of 'Auslander schweinhund!' or Japanese shrieks of 'Banzai!' "Anzacs at War" will transport them right back into fictional combat situations they'd forgotten were so entertaining, and a whole new generation can discover how Commando turns ordinary men into heroes.

War comics are never going to be great literature but they have whiled away many a hour at school or travelling. They combine the manly virtues with a fierce sense of right. There is a reasonable dollop of xenophobia, but the topic is after all war. What I did find impressive was the range of stories, not just Japanese ("Aieeeee") or Germans ("Schweinhund") but Maoris, Turks, Indonesians and the Viet-Cong get on the wrong side of our Antipodean mates; and as for the British......

Although the stories in this book are some of the best commando stories written, please be aware that these stories are exactly the same titles as in another hard backed commando book entitled, THE BEST 12 AUSSIE AND KIWI WAR STORIES EVER.
