Formed in July 1940 for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering
behind enemy lines, the Long Range Desert Group was the first
British special force unit. In no time the LRDG earned itself an
enviable reputation for deep penetration patrols into German and
Italian held territory. Its successes on prolonged missions into
harsh terrain and under extreme climatic conditions were out of all
proportion to its size. Wide-ranging military skills, including
exceptional navigation techniques, and the highest standards of
discipline and leadership were required from all ranks. Many of the
previously unpublished and well captioned images in this
comprehensive and well researched book come from the collections of
LRDG veterans. They show the weapons, equipment, uniforms and
insignia used and, together with personal accounts and operational
reports, bring to life the extraordinary achievements of this
legendary unit. The result is a fascinating record of the LRDG's
contribution to the Allied victory in North Africa.
