In October 1942 with the sanction of the army Vladimir Peniakoff (nicknamed Popski) formed his own elite fighting force. By befriending and enlisting desert Arabs he was able to penetrate deep into German territory without being detected - over the next year 'Popski's Private Army' carried out a series of raids behind the German lines that were truly spectacular.
A bestseller when it was first published in 1950 POPSKI'S PRIVATE ARMY is a classic account of the war in the desert and later in Italy as seen through the eyes of a maverick soldier hailed as the Second World War's answer to T.E. Lawrence.
