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.
