Description

Formed in 1940 at the opening of the Western Desert campaign, the Long Range Desert Group was later claimed by Rommel to have inflicted more damage on his Afrika Korps than had any other unit of comparable strength. After victory in North Africa in 1943, the LRDG continued to operate behind enemy lines in the Aegean, Italy and the Balkans. David Lloyd Owen (who joined the LRDG in mid-1941 and commanded the group from 1943 until its disbandment in 1945) gives for the first time the complete and authoritative yet personal account of perhaps the most renowned and least publicised of the Second World War's special forces.
