"Royal Marines Commandos Fitness & Survival Skills, The"

      The original "leathernecks", whose cheerful motto is "first to
      land, last to leave", the Royal Marines were most recently tasked
      under NATO to the defence of Norway.  This book thus gives not
      only a condensed and invaluable description of commando training
      and techniques, but also has a superb section on cold-weather
      fighting and survival skills.  As an aside, the token company of
      40 marines stationed on the Falklands when the Argentine invasion
      started, together with the newly arrived replacement company - a
      total of 80 men commanded by two majors - played havoc with the
      vastly superior Argentine invasion force, and had to be *ordered*
      to surrender by the Governor-General.  Their minuscule detachment
      on South Georgia, when ordered to surrender by an Argentine
      warship, promptly demolished its superstructure with a TOW missile
      and shot down its helicopter.  Then they took to the frozen hills
      as guerrillas!  This is the spirit we may need to emulate before
      too long!
