No. 5 Commando & Royal Marines on Magadascar 1941-42

Does anyone happen to know if there exists a good book about No. 5 Commando and or Royal Marines in the Magadascar Campaign 1941-1942 with a special emphasize on the Diego Suarez Campaign? I have heard that during the duration of the war (in 1943 or 1944) a small booklet was produced about the exploits of the British Royal Marines in the War and among other things there was also a chapter dedicated to the Magadascar or at least so I was being told. The title of the booklet has unfortunately sliped out of my memory right now.

Best regards,
