Gabriel Greene is too young to join the military, but after Pearl Harbor he and his sickly older brother, Dallas, each take the other's name. The Army has special uses for soldiers as ferocious and tenacious as Gabe-- the First Special Service Force. From the start it's intended to go where other soldiers won't-- and soon Gabe and his fellow commandos will get their wish: combat. -- adapted from jacket
"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."-- Publisher's description.
