The Imperial War Museum - War behind enemy lines (paperback)
JULIAN THOMPSON'S authoritative study of this most romantic and romanticized aspect of 20th century warfare encompasses all the significant military forces operating behind the enemy lines - the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), the Paras and Commandos, SAS, SBS (the Marine equivalent), the Chindits, the Jedburgh teams, V Force, Popski's Private Army and various other organisms. Drawing on the resources of the Imperial War Museum, the result is both a serious contribution to our military history and a compelling read.
