About the Author
James Lucas fought with the British infantry in the Second World War. He has long since established a reputation as a popular historian with a particular interest in good soldiering.
From School Library Journal
YA The German special forces were units from a conventional branch grouped to form a unique fighting detachment. These Kommandos were successful in carrying out a border action touching off Hitler's invasion of Poland and in the capturing of Belgium's Ft. Eben Emael. Less successful was the infiltration of American lines during the Battle of the Bulge, the use of one-man torpedo-equipped submarines, and kamikaze attacks against American bombers. Lucas explains why these Kommando units could not be as successful as Allied forces. Over 50 well-captioned photos help maintain interest. Seven diagrams clearly show the agencies and chain of command in the Kommando units. Secondary readers, especially those interested in World War II history, will find this a worthwhile book to read and a good source for research papers.
