The elite Long Range Desert Group operated behind enemy lines and New Zealander Frank Jopling was with them from the first sortie. His diary, superbly complemented by brilliant photography, is the most comprehensive account of these military swashbucklers who played a vital part in the Eighth Army's victory over Axis forces in North Africa during the Second World War.
