'There is only one colour that matters, one that unites us all. And that colour is green.'
The Royal Marine Commandos have become a byword for elite raiding skills and cutting-edge military operations. They are globally renowned, yet shrouded in mystery. With unique insight and authority, Commando captures the essence and heart of this revered military unit then and now, exploring their role patrolling the high seas and policing coastlines around the globe, and revealing their rich history and what it means to win and wear the legendary green beret.
With full and exclusive access to every level of the organisation, author and former Royal Marine Monty Halls tells the real stories of extraordinary individuals through a period of historic global unrest: from Future Commando forces on high-profile drug busts to Mountain Leaders training across glaciers north of the Arctic Circle; from medics who serve as global first responders in conflict to wounded veterans raising vast sums to support their brethren in the Corps Family. These are the modern vanguard of a legendary unit, descendants of the misfits and eccentrics who were so effective and feared in WW2 that Hitler famously ordered them to be shot on sight.
Commando is an unforgettable glimpse into a rarified world of danger, drama, and valour.
About the Author
Monty Halls is a former Royal Marines Officer who served for over a decade. His subsequent career as an expedition leader, broadcaster and travel writer saw his travels continue around the world. He is based in South Devon, where he runs Seadog - an adventure and wildlife production company. His ties to the Royal Marines remain as strong as ever, and he is a passionate supporter of the RM Charity in their efforts to raise funds for the veteran community. He is married to Tam and has two daughters Isla and Molly - the latter being the only team he's worked with that continues to bamboozle him.
