PRE-PUBLICATION REVIEWS:
‘A superb and much needed history of the storied 42 Commando RM from its origins in 1943 to the present day. Abrutat, a former RM Commando himself, has done Four-Two proud.’
Professor Saul David, Broadcaster, Author and Military Historian
“As 42 Commando Royal Marines enters its eightieth year, Dr Abrutat has achieved something exceptional. Four Two - the Official History of 42 Commando Royal Marines 1943 – 2023, is a brilliant synopsis and a compelling narrative. The author has walked that difficult path, between the accurate recitation of chronology and bringing the journey to life with individual context and colour”.
Colonel Jim Lewis OBE RM (former CO 42 Cdo)
