Publisher: Ngaio Press, Wellington, 2002. FIRST EDITION. SCARCE. Very good softback, slight edge wear, Name to reverse of half-title page, minor marks and a little foxing to page edges. 216 pages, photos. The elite Long Range Desert Group operated behind enemy lines, and were the original 'special forces'. Frank Jopling was with them from the first sortie. His diary is a comprehensive published account of the daily activities of these military swashbucklers who played a vital part in the Eighth Army's victory over Axis forces in North Africa during World War II. Trooper Jopling himself became something of a wartime celebrity after his diary was discovered. Extracts appeared in British media, he was the cover story in "Everybody's" magazine and his personal readings from the diaries were broadcast in his home country, New Zealand.
