From Omaha to the Scheldt The Story of 47 Royal Marine Commando

The reality of frontline battle with its intense fears and physical dangers, the stresses it imposes on body and mind, its killing and wounding, its triumphs and tribulations, and its aftermath are accurately described by John Forfar, a medical officer who was ideally placed to view all that the 47 Royal Marine Commando carried out in World War II in Europe. He tells of the historical significance of the Commando's actions, which the passage of time has revealed, and about the experiences of the oppressed populations they liberated, as well as the dramas of inhumanity and false witness that are the common currency of war.Forfar, John is the author of 'From Omaha to the Scheldt The Story of 47 Royal Marine Commando', published 2004 under ISBN 9781862322677 and ISBN 1862322678.
