Description
The Men Who Made the SAS: The History of the Long Range Desert Group Established in June 1940, the Long Range Desert Group was a pioneering organisation that played a crucial role in the war effort. The group's unique exploits, which took them across the Egyptian Sand Sea, are now being recognised for the first time. This book offers a previously unseen glimpse into the heart of the LRDG, drawing on private papers, interviews with veterans, and recently declassified documents. Gavin Mortimer's meticulous research and access to the SBS's archive have resulted in a gripping and balanced account of the LRDG's extraordinary contributions to the war. With a decade of research and scrutiny, Mortimer presents a compelling and authoritative history of this courageous organisation. A fascinating and insightful look at a pivotal moment in history, this book sheds new light on the LRDG's remarkable story.
