'Every page of Beachhead Assault has a tale of almost suicidal courage.' - Tony Parsons, author of Man and Boy. 'Each tale leaves you gasping at the almost nonchalant, offhand accounts of extraordinary courage and dangers ...This is a page-turner of a book.' - Journal of Naval Engineering. 'Compelling reading ...David Lee clearly and rightly admires these wonderful men and their deeds.' - Colonel Mark Noble in Naval Review. The Royal Naval Commandos had one of the most dangerous and important tasks of any unit in World War II - they were first onto the invasion beaches and they were the last to leave. The Commandos remarkable story - from their early formation and their training to the invasions they spearheaded - is told through a series of brilliantly linked anecdotes. Each tale is one of extraordinary courage and should ensure the legacy of the Commandos is not forgotten. Beachhead Assault includes a Foreword by Man and Boy author Tony Parsons, whose father was a Royal Naval Commando who fought at Elba. It also contains a preface by Ken Oakley, Chairman of the Royal Naval Commando Association. AUTHOR: David Lee is the author of the highly acclaimed Up Close and Personal:The Reality of Close-Quarter Fighting in World War II - another collection of eyewitness narratives.
