Discover for the first time the authentic history of the legendary Ponchardier Commandos! The account is based on original documents that had never previously been exploited, drawn from the archives of the few surviving veterans, their widows and children — of whom the author is one. The fruit of four years of research, this book is lavishly illustrated with more than 300 photographs, some previously unpublished, as well as objects and insignia drawn in part from the collections of the Musée des Troupes de Marine in Fréjus and the Musée de Tradition des Fusiliers Marins in Lorient. It will delight historians and collectors alike.
