Description
The Long Range Desert Group in North Africa By Brendan O'Carroll This comprehensive and well-researched book tells the story of the LRDG, the first British special force unit formed in 1940 for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines. The unit's legendary reputation for deep penetration patrols into German and Italian held territory is matched only by its remarkable achievements in harsh terrain and extreme climatic conditions. The book features many previously unpublished images from the collections of LRDG veterans, alongside personal accounts and operational reports, bringing to life the extraordinary contributions of this legendary unit. With a focus on the military skills and discipline required from all ranks, this fascinating record provides a detailed insight into the LRDG's role in the Allied victory in North Africa. Through its well-researched and well-documented pages, this book sheds new light on one of the most remarkable units of World War II.
