Synopsis

The Long Range Desert Group was Britain's original Special Force in the Western Desert, long before the SAS. This is the inside story of the LRDG raiders of World War II, written from the unpublished records of the force. The unit won mastery of the North African desert in its wide-ranging and heavily armed trucks, earning praise even from Rommel, the Desert Fox, for their skilful reconnaissance, punishing raids and powers of evasion. A full list of serving members from the UK and abroad is included.
