Format:Paperback
Unless the reader has a specific reason to read this book, joining the RM or an old bootie, then this is not a book to pick up for a bit of gentle reading.
However, read this book through and the reader will know not only everything the RM have done, but also get a true feel for the history and ethos behind them.

The narrative of the history of how the Royal Marines came to be what they are today is descriptive and told in a interesting fashion. But do not make the same mistake as I in thinking this book would be easy to read it is not and you have to have a firm interest to read it all the way through. If you are interested in the history of the Royal Marines, this book is for you.

Format:Paperback
This book gives an excellent insight as to how the Royal Marines started from the very beginning until present day. It has some good personal accounts by soldiers fighting at that time. The descriptions of how the soldiers fought are good helping to visualise what is going on at that time. It also makes you appreciate just what these people went through, cold, exhaustion,hunger and personal loss.
Listmania!
