The history of the Fairbairn Sykes or F-S Commando knife has, because of its mystique and tales of daring do, spawned a number of books and many articles on the subject over the years by various authors in the UK, USA and Europe. However, the more the story has been told, the more embellished the tale has become. The FairBairn-Sykes Fighting Knife and Other Commando Knives by Ron Flook is a ground-breaking work with in-depth research back to original documentation, much of which was long considered lost, in the UK National archives, Wilkinson Sword Co Ltd., and commercial firms and private collections. Much of what the author presents, in a well argued, finely balanced and logical manner, has not been published before. In as-new condition, hardback with 263 illustrated pages. The price for this author signed special edition, number 22 of only 50 published books includes UK delivery. BO 464.
