Book Overview
Formed at the personal insistence of Winston Churchill after the Nazi Blitzkrieg of Western Europe, the Parachute Regiment quickly acquired a formidable reputation as tough, fearless soldiers; it was the Germans themselves who christened then the 'Red Devils'. More than 10,000 men of the Parachute Regiment took part in some of the most desperate actions of the Second World War. In the 'savage wars of peace' following 1934, the Paras have never been out of action.

Great history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book reviews the history of the paras from the very beging, it however seems to leave you wanting more, the recounts are to brief. However it convays the hardships that the men of this elite unit had to go through. On the whole it is a good read.
