- This is a concise history of the unique integrated commandostyle brigade of US and Canadian volunteers formed in 1942. Hand picked, and trained in airborne, amphibious, mountain and winter warfare, demolitions, and close-quarter tactics, they left a combact legacy still recognized among today's Special Forces. This book explores the remarkable results the FSSF achieved in Italy - in the harsh mountain fighting on the Winter Line, in the trenched of Anzio, and in the breakthrough to Rome. Accompanied by combat photography and illustrations of their distinctive uniforms, this is an insight into a famous, but little-explored unit.
