Git rollback-branch then merge

I have made several commits to the MASTER (say A, B and C, where C is the latest). Then due to strange bug I have made a branch FIX from commit A and added commits D, E and F to the branch fix.

So now I have MASTER with A-B-C and FIX with A-D-E-F and I need to merge it all to MASTER removing commits B and C, so final MASTER should contain A-D-E-F. How can I achieve that?

Quick Answer - to reset to A (if C is latest commit) run:

$ git reset --hard HEAD~2

Then you're free and clear to run 

$ git merge <branch_name>

it will be as though B and C never existed.
