Thanks for drawing attention to this book

Having looked on the sites mentioned above, I hope I am permitted to cut and paste an extract of the Synopsis of this book (as published on the Waterstone's Site) to provide further background for anyone interested:

"This pocket-book draws on authentic training manuals, lecture notes, course literature and other material from the commando schools to give a real insight into this highly specialized fighting unit - demonstrating how commandos were taught to live, fight and move on offensive operations, initially as raiding parties, and later as skilled assault infantry. Sections of the book cover survival and fieldcraft skills; night operations; assaulting obstacles; use of equipment - such as the COPPS canoe for beach reconnaissance and sabotage; and weapons training, including the Thompson submachine gun, the Bren gun, and the famous emblem of the commandos - the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife."

Thee book will be 128 pages by the looks and is due for release on 27/9/2012 I think

The following link should take you to the Watersone's entry - if it works!
