DOC Memoir of a Cold War Soldier by Richard E Mack in History

Description

For the first time the full story of U.S. amphibious special warfare units during World War II and the Korean War is revealed in gripping; painstakingly researched accounts of battles that few knew even occurred. Author and historian John B. Dwyer spent years gathering these first-person accounts of amphibious commando operations in Europe; North Africa; the Pacific; China; and Korea. From secret joint military-OSS and CIA missions and thrilling submarine ops to river raids deep into Nazi-controlled North Africa to the training and insertion of Korean commandos for a secret war in North Korea to fatal engagements with Japanese occupation forces in China; Dwyer chronicles the heroic feats of men who were willing to try anything and go anywhere to accomplish their dangerous missions. With dramatic action shots of amphibious commandos in action; Commandos from the Sea is the definitive history of America’s waterborne warriors of World War II and the Korean War.
