Již v roce 1940 si političtí vůdcové a armádní velitelé, zodpovědní za spojenecké operace, uvědomili, že po sérii katastrofálních neúspěchů lze válečnou morálku obnovit jedině podniknutím ofenzivních akcí proti nepříteli. Vzhledem k omezeným zdrojům, které měli k dispozici, si Churchillova výzva k "zapálení Evropy" vyžádala nekonvenční řešení a postupy. Z těchto nejistých začátků se zrodila široká škála oddílů spojeneckých zvláštních sil. Některé jsou samozřejmě všeobecně známé, avšak o jiných ví jen málokdo, protože jejich krátké a utajované působení proběhlo v nejzapadlejších koutech světa. Všechny však měly své nezaměnitelné rysy a hrdě nošené insignie, jež se staly fascinujícím a často těžko dostupným artiklem pro milovníky militarií. To není dáno jen vzácností mnoha sběratelských položek, ale také jejich tajemným původem. Řada jednotek byla založena spontánně a jen pro jediný úkol. Při sestavování knihy Insignie spojeneckých zvláštních jednotek 1939-1948 si Peter Taylor vytkl za cíl zaplnit bílé místo v rozrůstající se bibliografii vojenského sběratelství. Úvod brigádního generála Bryana Watkinse zasazuje vznik a vývoj zvláštních jednotek do kontextu světového konfliktu v letech 1939-45.
