As one would expect from Brendan O’Carroll this is an authoritative work based on many years of research and meetings with veterans. Into the military biography of Craw has been woven the detail of what life was like in this first special forces unit. The harshness of the existence is evident and it took a special type of man to endure service not just in the desert but on up into the Aegean.

This new series comes in an A4 Softcover design and looks at various battles of significance, the aim of this series is to combine a basic history of the particular battle and the machines and vehicles involved in that battle in a model format. What makes this different to other book series is that it features all the planes, tanks and vehicles involved rather than just the one type like in the Tank Series. Being a Pen & Sword Book you have a well-written history supported by great text and supporting photographs, but also you have great model photos of all the vehicles used in that battle. Although these books are still a great read and thoroughly recommended, especially for model makers of WWII.

A hugely powerful tale of one of the most revered and inspirational Special Forces commanders of WWII

It was very interesting to have access to perspectives from both sides of this conflict. The insights into Rommel’s strategy were clearly founded in string research and the writing style will appeal to readers beyond history buffs.
