Paras: The Untold Story of the Birth of the British Airborne Forces

William F Buckingham

Prompted by the groundbreaking German use of airborne troops in the Low Countries in May 1940, Winston Churchill ordered the creation of a raiding force that included a parchute capability, and No.2 Commando was born.
