what it says on the tin? - By: Mr. C. J. Mccall, 16 Apr 2006 
Well no, its not exactly as the title says. However it does provide a good account of many aspects of training & marine life whilst also giving a reasonable over view of the history & organisation of the RM. Above alll its enjoyable worth a read to a potential RM candidate or interested party.
Tell it to the Marines - By: , 21 Dec 2005 An informative book does not give the full picture. If you reallly want an alternative perspective read 'Undefeated' by former fellow Marine Commando Terry Marsh. He writes about the parts not found in the brochures.
Great, shame about the flaw... - By: , 25 Sep 2005 
Im sure this is a great video, shame about the cover though.
It seems they have shown a marine with his beret incorrect- you see the cap badge is ALWAYS over the left eye, unlike the right eye shown. LOL. This was probably so we could see it, but they should have just inverted the picture.... Anyway, Im majorily digressing commenting on the graphics!
Buy it - RM are legends.
An informative read for both would be Officers and Marines - By: , 14 Aug 2002 I feel the book is a must for anyone wanting to find out more about the Marines, than the average book will tell you. It has a vast section on different qualifications, postings & an in deapth insite into the special forces such as the ML (Mountian Leader)and SBS (Special Boat Service).
I think the Book is well set out & unlike others, which I feel is for the best, has only a smalll section on past conflicts where the Marines have been present.
The comparisons between the Paras & the Marines are clearly pointed out, the underlying factor being that alll Marines (apart from the band) are Commando trained, which as you can find out by reading the book means they have to undergo the mentallly & physicallly demanding Commando week.
The book goes into deapth on the training aspects & takes you through what to expect at the PRMC or POC, & therefore what training is expected to get you through the rigorous selection process.
It also also talks about the similarities & differences between the SBS & their Army equivlent, the SAS, & their feuding rivalries stopping them becoming a joint force.
Whether or not you are thinking about joining the Marines, this book is a helpfull insight into the most renowned & professional unit in the World, The Royal Marine Commandos.
hmmmmmmmmm!!!! - By: sheryl maclennan, 13 Aug 2002 This is a great book with loads of information regarding the special forces around the world, but the title is not what is says!!! there is a little bit of information about what the training & standard of living is like but not alot. although this book's title misses the point it is still worth buying.
