Long Range Desert Group

story continues below...

First published in 1945, the reprint of this book will satisfy military enthusiasts, especially those interested in WWII in North Africa. Written by someone who lived and fought through it all, this is a raw book. In those distant days, authors did not have to worry about upsetting anyone. They wrote it as it was and because of that, this is as honest an account of the time as any you are likely to encounter anywhere. This is human endurance against nature and the human enemy. The author served with the LRDG, which is how we arrive at this book. He writes about servicing the vehicles, firefights and surviving against great adversity. If you want sweeping accounts of divisional movement, look elsewhere. This is the man on the ground and face to face with the enemy. Great stuff.
