Publisher's Synopsis
War came to North Africa in June 1940. But it was over a year before a newly-formed SAS went into action. Until then, the fight belonged to an elite, top secret band of brothers called the Long Range Desert Group.
They were Britain's first special forces.
Born out of a pre-war club of explorers, eccentrics and mavericks, the LRDG operated alone behind enemy lines, performing astonishing feats of navigation, endurance and survival, and paved the way for the SAS.
Drawing on his own decade's service with UK Special Forces, Titch Cormack brings to life the action-packed but little-known story of Britain's original rogue heroes.
