Reseña del editor
* The daring exploits of the first special forces unit of WWII *World War II tale of adventure *Available in paperback for the first time The first special service forces of WWII were known as the Devil's Brigade. Ferocious and stealthy combatants, they were handpicked U.S. and Canadian soldiers trained in mountaineering, airborne, and close-combat skills. They numbered more than 2,300 and saw action in the Aleutians, Italy, and the south of France. Co-written by a brigade member and a WWII combat pilot, the book explores the unit's unique characteristics, including the men's exemplary toughness and their ability to fight in any terrain against murderous opposition. It also profiles some of the unforgettable characters that comprised the near-mythical force.

Ships from California. Ships same or next day (weekdays and Saturdays)! ABOUT: The first special service forces of World War II were known as the Devil's Brigade. Ferocious and stealthy combatants, they garnered their moniker from the captured diary of a German officer who wrote, The black devils are all around us every time we come into line and we never hear them. Handpicked U.S. and Canadian soldiers trained in mountaineering, airborne, and close-combat skills, they numbered more than 2,300 and saw action in the Aleutians, Italy, and the south of France. Co-written by a brigade member and a World War II combat pilot, the book explores the unit's unique characteristics, including the men's exemplary toughness and their ability to fight in any terrain against murderous opposition. It also profiles some of the unforgettable characters that comprised the near-mythical force. Conceived in Great Britain, the brigade was formed to sabotage the German submarine pens and oil storage areas along Norway's coast, but when the campaign was cancelled, the men moved on to many other missions. This World War II tale of adventure, first published in hardcover in 1966 and made into a movie not long after, is now available in paperback for the first time.
