En savoir plus sur le livre

This splendid record takes the reader behind enemy lines not only in North Africa but in Italy, the Aegean and the Balkans. The Author, who commanded the LRDG, paints a vivid picture of the unit's colourful characters: for example, Ralph Bagnold who put to good use the knowledge he gained from his pre-war desert travels. The LRDG was truly international with New Zealanders and Rhodesians playing key roles. This classic book won acclaim from the critics on its first publication by virtue of the author's unique knowledge, experience and narrative skills.
