Description

8vo., First Edition, with 12 plates on 8; cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly sunned at backstrip. Classic account of the wartime exploits of Otto Skorzeny, including the liberation of Mussolini, the snatching of Horthy from Budapest Castle and the 'disguised brigade' which confused the Americans on their way into Germany. Laycock's foreword gives the historical context and looks ahead to the increasing need for units like the RM Commandos and the SAS in the future of military operations. Enser, p.406
