American Commando Hardback - 2009
by Wukovits, John
Before the Green Berets...Beforethe Navy SEALs...Before the ArmyRangers...There was the Long Patrol.
November 1942: in the hellish combat zone ofGuadalcanal, one man would make history.
Lieutenant Colonel Evans Carlson was considered amaverick by many of his comrades-and seen as atraitor by some. He spent years observing guerrillatactics all over the world, and knew that those tacticscould be adapted effectively by the Marines.
Carlson and an elite fighting force-the 2nd RaiderBattalion-embarked upon a thirty-day missionbehind enemy lines where they disrupted Japanesesupplies, inflicted a string of defeats on the enemy inopen combat, and gathered invaluable intelligenceon Japanese operations on Guadalcanal. And in theprocess they helped lay the foundation for SpecialForces in the modern military.
Here for the first time is a riveting account of oneman, one battalion, and one mission that wouldresonate through the annals of military history.
