Still relevant after all these years
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Kennedy Shaw's history of the early days of the LRDG is both fascinating as a historical document and very relevant in its observations no the relationships of mutual respect that developed between the allied soldiers and the local Arab population of the North African Desert. The authors oppinions are alway candid, the writing is straightforward, the book is a very good read and the maps are sufficiently accurate to make cross referencing with "Google Earth" a fascinating possibility.

This is as candid and forthright an account of life in the LRDG as you will ever find. Kennedy Shaw wrote this book in 1943 as the exploits of the LRDG in North Africa were coming to a close and the story flows with a freshness that time has not diminished.

Great book written by someone who was there. Many of the logistics taken for granted by todays special operations groups were thought up by these guys. Interestingly most of the force was made of of individuals from the Commonwealth and not England. For more detailed information go to Long Range Desert Preservation Group on internet.
