Knife Edge By Douglas Reeman

Synopsis:

Knife Edge is the fifth novel in Douglas Reeman's best selling
Blackwood series.

January 1970, and the final chapter in the Blackwood history appears to
have closed with the murder in Cyprus of Lieutenant-Colonel Mike
Blackwood, and the subsequent sale of the ancestral home. Disillusioned
and grieving for his distinguished father, Lieutenant Ross Blackwood
believes there is no future for him in the Corps. The Royal Marines
have been reduced in strength, and their role in a modern world, after
so splendid a tradition, diminished to policing and paperwork.

But Ross remains a Blackwood and a Royal Marine, and the loyalty and
dedication of a Blackwood to the Corps sustain him from vicious
guerrilla warfare in Malaysia through the moral and political
minefields of Northern Ireland, where one man's terrorist is another's
patriot, to the South Atlantic, and a conflict as bloody as it is
unpredictable.

And he learns, as every Blackwood has before him, that jungle or moor,
insurrection or invasion, mere courage is not enough. Survival and
victory
