THE EYES OF THE DESERT RATS: British Long-Range Reconnaissance Operations in the North African Desert 1940-43
Looks at how the Long Range Desert Group transformed desert warfare during WWII with innovative tactics for reconnaissance and irregular operations behind enemy lines. Using experience acquired in WWI and interwar exploration travels, the LRDG developed the ability to appear almost anywhere in the desert to carry out almost every type of ground reconnaissance mission possible with an extraordinary degree of accuracy and detail -- exploring and mapping the terrain, transporting agents behind enemy lines, and determining the strength and location of enemy forces. Explores how the LRDG developed the methods and techniques for crossing by motor vehicle the depths of the then unmapped and seemingly impassable great deserts of Egypt, Libya, and Western Desert during the British Army's North African Campaign of 1940-43. Contains 15 photos and 24 color maps.1 vol, 330 pgs 2024 UK, HELION AND COMPANY
