Rupert Wieloch Ordre des livres

Discusses the enduring relationship between Britain and Libya, and interplay between tactical and strategic levels and historical recurrences throughout the last two centuries of Libya's history.

The Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War from 1918-1920 forms the backdrop to this extraordinary story of the fate of 15 British soldiers abandoned in Bolshevik Russia.

Rupert Wieloch has seen more than his share of front-line military action. This is his story from troubles in Northern Ireland through to serving as the Senior British Military Commander in Libya following the fall of Gaddafi. As the author puts it: "I hope this book opens eyes to a few unheralded escapades and adds colour to some historic events."
