Description
The Long Range Desert Group's pioneering work in long-range desert warfare during World War II is revealed in this fascinating study of their specialized vehicles, kit, and techniques. The LRDG's use of modified vehicles to gather intelligence and support raids behind enemy lines is a remarkable example of military innovation. This book provides a detailed look at the vehicles used by the LRDG, including the Chevrolet WB, and their modifications, driving techniques, and special kit for surviving in one of the most hostile environments on earth.
