<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The First Special Service Force is an elite commando unit composed of American and Canadian troops. From the start, the Force is intended to go where other soldiers won't. The call for volunteers specifically singles out lumberjacks, hunters, prospectors, and game wardens as ideal candidates. And their training is anything but basic, including intense lessons in parachuting, hand-to-hand combat, skiing, rock climbing, and adaptation to cold climates. One tight group of young men have made a point of carrying The Commando Pocket Manual with them everywhere. They build a unified little community around it, a text to guide them through the war."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>All the sizzle, chaos, noise and scariness of war is clay in the hands of ace storyteller Lynch. -<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> for the World War II series<p></p><p>Gabriel Greene is too young to join the military.
