An SAS classic. In the war in North Africa, LRDG (Long Range Desert Group), forerunner of the SAS, won a reputation out of all proportion to its size and short existence. Lloyd Owen's classic account of Y2 Patrol is a key account. THE ORIGINAL EDITION IS VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.251.
