During a conversation at Fort William, Remembrance Weekend 2011, I was told that it was 'impossible' to get a copy of Jimmy Dunning's It Had To Be Tough...
The good news is that a new edition is due to be released:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Had-be-Tough-James-Dunning/dp/1848326386/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321455076&sr=1-2
This is essential reading for anyone interested in The Commandos as it is a terrific source of information.
Highly recommended.
Nick

Pete,
Thanks for that. There are also new and used copies available on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Cn%3A266239%2Ck%3AIt+Had+to+be+Tough+by+James+Dunning&keywords=It+Had+to+be+Tough+by+James+Dunning&ie=UTF8&qid=1321475092&ajr=0
I already have my copy but the lady I was speaking to could only find an American edition at a very high price.

It appears on ebay quite a bit, I bought a signed copy for £35 about 4 months ago. Still, £12 for a re-issue looks good to me!
cheers
