The Allies knew that large-scale amphibious landings were needed to tip the balance of World War II, so the US Navy developed several innovative and specialized units to reconnoitre potential landing areas, degrade the enemy's ability to resist, and assist the landing forces on to the beaches. The Scouts and Raiders were one of the forerunners of the famous SEALs, and the Beach Jumpers made elaborate simulated landing to distract the enemy. The Naval Combat Demolition Units and Underwater Demolition Teams cleared obstacles to amphibious landings, while Naval Group China fought daringly alongside Chinese guerrillas behind Japanese lines. This book uncovers the fascinating history of these lesser-known units, the equipment they developed and tested in action, and the vital roles they carried out throughout the war.
