The photograph of the cover page gives a good indication of the overall condition. At 80 pages (21cm x 13.5cm) plus an additional 16 pages of photographs this is a superb front-line account of the contribution made by the Royal Marines through to the middle of 1943, illustrated with some very good period photographs and maps.
