Thanks for this. There are some very interesting articles in there including Mr. Pollard's. The one on Fredericksburg could be enlightening as I've experienced walking the terrain. Wish it was less expensive though!

Chris,

many thanks for the heads up - I've just managed to get a greatly reduced copy on ABE.com.

Chris,

My copy arrived yesterday - from India (great service!).

An interesting article. There are others also of note; particulary that regarding the activities of the LRDG in the western desert during WW2.

Again, TY for the heads up.

And AMB...Just on a tangent, I see a book out on Ian Fleming and the Commandos. Did you happen to come across it? Is it a good one on the Commandos?

Rich,

Sorry, not seen.

Not really my area: I am interested, but space & time precludes!

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
