Descriptionof In Rommel's Backyard
Manufacturer

This World War II diary offers the reader a glimpse into the operations of an elite reconnaissance and commando unit that operated behind enemy lines during the North African Campaign. As a young man swept up in the maelstrom of the Second World War, Alastair Timpson was fortunate enough to find his way to the special unit that arguably enjoyed the most romantic reputation of them all: the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). *In Rommel's Backyard* describes the diverse missions of the LRDGoperations that invariably demanded a high degree of daring and endurance deep behind enemy lines. They served as the eyes and ears of the Eighth Army, reporting on enemy troop movements; they destroyed enemy aircraft, supply depots, and vehicles; and they transported other special forces units and agents to their respective operational targets. Timpson meticulously chronicled all his activities with the LRDG. It was only after his death that his son recognized the true significance of his father's diary entries. The book is a personal firsthand account of the LRDG that serves as an exemplary embodiment of the spirit of the entire campaign.
