Emerging suddenly from the depths of the desert, the LRDG would raid important airfields or attack Axis lines of communication along the Mediterranean coast, and then vanish back into the desert, to reappear hundreds of miles away. With its brilliant description of the harsh beauty of the desert, and its exciting chronicle of the LRDG activities, this book is as fascinating today as it was when was first published in 1945, after being vetted by the War Office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Moving, exciting and authentic\" - \u003ci\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The British genius for exploration, hard living and insolently bold guerrilla warfare has never been better demonstrated than by the Long Range Desert Group [Kennedy Shaws book is] a remarkable record, told simply, unpretentiously and with engaging humour One cannot remember a better war book.\" - \u003ci\u003eThe Manchester Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
