Popski's Private Army - Vladimir Peniakoff - Cassell Military Paperbacks

This splendid edition with an appreciation by John Campbell CVO CBE MC, the last surviving officer of PPA brings up to date the story of this elite unit which formed in October 1942 in the North African desert. Over the next year 'Popski's Private Army' (which incidentally was the official war office name) carried our a series of raids behind German lines that were truly spectacular - freeing prisoners, destroying installations and spreading alarm. This, one of the classic memoirs of the Second World War, is their story.
