Biografien

This WWII journal takes readers inside an elite reconnaissance and raiding unit operating behind enemy lines in the North African campaign.

As a young man entering the maelstrom of World War II, Alastair Timpson had the good fortune to find his way into the most romantic of special force units, the Long Range Desert Group. In Rommel’s Backyard describes the various roles of the LRDG, all of which involved great daring and endurance deep behind enemy lines. They were the eyes and ears of the Eighth Army, reporting enemy movement; they destroyed enemy aircraft, supply dumps, and vehicles; and they transported other special forces and agents to their objectives.

Timpson kept a meticulous record of all his activities with the LRDG. Only after his death, did his son realize the significance of his father’s journals. In Rommel’s Backyard is a personal account of the LRDG that epitomizes the spirit of the entire campaign.
