"This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the LRDG, packed with rare photographs. The bulk of the book looks at the detail of clothing, vehicles, signals, supplies, weapons and the vital subject of navigation. It is only the last 3 chapters than cover Road Watch, Enemy Encounters and finally the Libyan Taxi service, another name for guiding other forces like the SAS to their objectives. The statement that the LRDG tried to avoid enemy action could be challenged by an earlier refence to their “hit and run” tactics and the fact that a typical raid would require 40,000 rounds of small arms ammunition! A must read for anyone interested in special forces."

The fascinating look at the real women who were the wives and daughters of the men who ruled Wessex, from Alfred on. Anyone who is a fan of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories will love to see the real characters behind the books and Netflix series.
