This recommendation was found in a Commando Association newsletter dated 1998:
Collectors of Commando books ought to add 'Attain by Surprise" edited by David Nutting. This tells the story of 30 Assault Unit and is based on the personal reminiscences of a cross section of members of the unit. When originally published by David Colver, net proceeds from the book were being donated to the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust.
