Description
Her Majesty’s Royal Marines have served their Sovereign and country with courage and distinction since 1664.
From spearheading the recovery of the Falklands to supporting the efforts of the UN, the Corps is an essential component of the British Armed Forces, steeped in proud service and tradition.
Between 1919 and 1997 the Corps experienced a period of unprecedented action and development, transforming from sea service and naval gunnery to amphibious and commando operations.
In this role they have unrivalled tactical flexibility, making use of canoes, parachutes and skis as much as they do landing craft, and are trained to fight in jungle, mountain and arctic terrain, always living up to their motto:
Per Mare, Per Terram.
By sea, by land.
Ladd tells how the Corps has adapted in line with the changing nature of the world, of warfare, how it’s remained steadfast in the face of questions about its future, and how its members contribute to peacekeeping and NATO.
With several in-depth appendices exploring the units borne of the Corps and their distinctive uniforms and equipment, Ladd’s ‘By Sea, By Land’ is a comprehensive account of the most evolutionary stage of the Royal Marines’ history to date.
James Ladd was a Royal Marine before he became a journalist and naval historian. His other titles include SBS: The Invisible Raiders and Commandos and Rangers of World War II.
