Description
Popski's Private Army tells the remarkable true story of Vladimir Peniakoff, a soldier who formed his own elite fighting force to carry out daring raids behind enemy lines during World War II.
By befriending and enlisting desert Arabs, Peniakoff was able to penetrate deep into German territory undetected, carrying out a series of spectacular raids that would prove to be one of the most impressive feats of unconventional warfare in the war.
This account of Peniakoff's adventures is a gripping and fascinating look at the war in the desert and Italy, as seen through the eyes of a maverick soldier who became known for his bravery and ingenuity.
