Description
The Long Range Desert Group: The History of the Elite British Army Unit During World War II The fighting in North Africa during World War II is often overlooked, aside from the famous battle at El Alamein. However, the conflict in North Africa began in the summer of 1940, when Italy declared war, taking advantage of the distraction from the German threat. Italian troops in Ethiopia responded by attacking British colonial holdings, but British troops had already driven through the Egyptian-Ethiopian border and inflicted significant casualties on Italian troops. The Second Battle of El Alamein was a pivotal action in North Africa, but the conflict had been brewing since Italy's entry into the war. The British had responded by defending their colonial holdings, and the fighting continued until the end of the war. This book provides a detailed account of the Long Range Desert Group, the elite British army unit that played a significant role in the North African campaign. The book includes photographs, personal accounts, and online resources for further reading, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Long Range Desert Group and the North African campaign during World War II.
