Allied Special Forces Commandos and US Rangers offers a focused, illustrated survey of the elite raiding forces of World War II, centering on British Commandos and U.S. Army Rangers. As the third volume in a nine‑book series that examines the hard decisions faced by senior officers in WWII, the book situates small‑unit tactics, amphibious assaults and raiding operations within the wider wartime context, tracing organization, training, equipment and operations to show how these units were forged and employed in the conflict (primarily the European theatre as implied by the scope).
This non‑fiction military reference is richly illustrated with period photographs and detailed uniform and equipment artwork, presented in a reference layout suited to study and cataloguing; the volume is produced as a hardcover series entry and carries ISBN13 9780785823261. Authored by Simon Dunstan, Brian L. Davis and Ian Westwell, the work benefits from Dunstan and Davis’s experience in uniform and equipment studies, making it valuable for historians, modellers and enthusiasts seeking visual as well as operational insight.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
