Merrill's Marauders ─ The Untold Story of Unit Galahad and the Toughest Special Forces Mission of World War II

From award-winning historian Gavin Mortimer, Merrill’s Marauders is the definitive nonfiction narrative of arguably the most extraordinary, but also unsung, American special forces unit in the Pacific in World War II.
