Defeatism hangs in the air. Britain stands alone. Winston Churchill is determined to strike back and has ordered the formation of a special operations force, dubbed \"Commandos\", with the mission to \"set Europe ablaze.\"  U.S. Marine Captain Jim Cain and his Gunnery Sergeant Leland Montgomery are surprised to receive orders to the British Commando training center in the Scottish Highlands. There they are put through the brutal specialized training that will hone their fighting skills and physical endurance. Pitiless forced marches, dangerous live fire exercises and hazardous assault courses separate the men from the boys, while building a strong sense of brotherhood among the British soldiers and the two Marines. Lucky to be quartered in the spacious home of the Commandos' CO, Cain has the pleasure of meeting Loreena. The stunning auburn-haired daughter of the CO is secretive about her work in London. Before Cain can learn more about her, the training course is interrupted. He and the commando squad are sent on a special mission to destroy a German radar station on a Nazi-held island off the coast of France.  The site is defended by a squad of second-rate garrison soldiers who are no match for the highly trained and motivated commandos. A reaction force of infantry, led by a blooded German combat veteran, joins the fight. The action is fierce and bloody and there are heavy losses on both sides. The surviving raiders are able to withdraw to Royal Navy motor torpedo boats, as a marauding squadron of Schnellboots (E-Boats) lies in wait.  The Commandos: Set Europe Ablaze is rich in detail and military accuracy which makes the story \"come alive\" and enables the reader to easily visualize the characters, the settings and the action scenes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611487314193,"sku":"GOR013660655","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740519080209,"sku":"NGR9781636240084","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1636240089.jpg?v=1751409644"},{"product_id":"three-war-marine-hero-book-richard-camp-9781612009391","title":"Three War Marine Hero","description":"The first biography of Marine General Raymond Davis, who was decorated for bravery in both WWII and Korea, and went on to serve as a commanding general in Vietnam.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737769779473,"sku":"NGR9781612009391","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49757559685393,"sku":"CIN1612009395G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1612009395.jpg?v=1751446982"},{"product_id":"echo-among-warriors-book-richard-camp-9781636240343","title":"Echo Among Warriors","description":"In war, every action has a beginning and an end.     Echo Among Warriors is a story of close combat between two opposing, equally committed adversaries. The powerful narrative immerses the reader in both sides of the battle, playing and replaying the same battle sequence from alternating viewpoints – through the eyes of the Marines and through the eyes of the North Vietnamese. The bullet fired from a Marine's M-16 at a silhouetted enemy solider crouched on the jungle path will in the next chapter tear into the flesh of that crouched NVA trooper. The story – unfolding from the initial contact to the final horrific ending – represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle: a mind-numbing, intensely personal experience, that forever changes the participant.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742311686417,"sku":"NGR9781636240343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1636240348.jpg?v=1750863524"},{"product_id":"jedburghs-book-richard-camp-9781636241746","title":"Jedburghs","description":"U.S. Marine Jim Cain, French commando LtCol Henri, and French emigre Josephine parachute into Occupied France to work with the Resistance and lead them in battle against the Germans.

As much as it is about the Vietnam War, Lima-6 is also a candid account of the camaraderie that a Marine infantry company forges in battle, and the compelling human drama of an infantry company at war as seen through the eyes of a lonely leader upon whom all others depend for guidance and strength.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50037812134161,"sku":"CIN0935553363G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0935553363.jpg?v=1750948376"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-richard-camp.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
