Commando

Post by AJtothemax »

Alright lads.
Hoofin read!

If you watched the series then you'll like the book which was also written by Chris Terrill.
The thing is, the book is far better than the series. Having watched the series though, it gives you a far better understanding of what he filmed and saw, including his accounts of his run ashore with the training team! :P

Truth be told, for anyone joining up, read this book. Because it makes you realise so much more than you already do so, why you want to become part of the family. To be a Royal Marines Commando.

Totally agree with you AJ. The book gives a side of the story that the series doesnt even come close to telling.

I bought this book for my holiday read, but I found it competely addictive and read it in two sessions 4 days before I went. Needless to say it was read again while on holiday.

Well worth the money, and you might find things out that you didnt know.
