‘How was this book born? It was just after we had had our dinner on the day we finally reached Jebel Sherif and found the wrecks of T Patrol's trucks, when my travel companion, Ruedi Wäffler, came up with the idea of writing a book about our journey.
The original idea was just to create something as a souvenir for ourselves, our families and friends, but during that evening the idea grew and finally, before I got to sleep, I could already envisage something more than just a small souvenir’

This is an incredible piece of work – one that takes the familiar ‘After the Battle’ approach and adds further value. It tells the story of the clash between ‘T’ Company of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) and Italian forces in the Lybian desert during the second world war. The photography is quite simply stunning, documenting the abandoned vehicles, ordnance and other battle debris in a most poignant way. The clash at Jebel Sherif is vividly described and gripping to read.
Just 1000 copies of this amazing book have been published. For students of the North African conflict or of Special Forces this is a must. Get it whilst you can!
