Covering the legendary Lofoten and Dieppe raids, the D-Day
landings and the capture of Flushing, James Dunning recounts
the history of No. 4 Commando, an elite wartime special
service unit, from formation in 1940 to disbandment five
years later. The author, himself, a `Fighting Fourth'
veteran, describes how 500 volunteers, despite initial
problems, prejudices and frustrations, developed into one of
the most feared fighting formations of the Second World War.
The extraordinarily tough and unorthodox training undertaken
by No. 4 Commando prepared them for the raids of 1941 and
1942, their protracted involvement on D-Day and for 83 days'
action in the struggle for Normandy. Their last major
operation was the storming and capture of the vital port of
Flushing in November 1944. This readable and authoritative
history of the unit reveals their important role in the
Second World War.
