Description

Discover the history of the Long Range Desert Group through this detailed account of British long-range reconnaissance operations. Operating in the North African desert from 1940 to 1943, these Allied soldiers changed the nature of desert warfare with their innovative tactics. This book details how they conducted reconnaissance and irregular operations deep behind enemy lines. The Long Range Desert Group was composed of a diverse force, including members of the Coldstream and Scots Guards, British yeomanry cavalry regiments, New Zealanders, South Africans, and men from the Indian Army. As one of the most effective special forces established by the Allies during the Second World War, they achieved the impossible by traveling thousands of miles into enemy territory. Readers will learn how these units remained self-sufficient, carrying their own supplies of petrol, food, and water to survive the harsh desert environment. This is an essential read for anyone interested in 20th-century British military history and the specialized units that defined the North African campaign.
