"What an amazing wealth of most interesting detail concerning the activities of the South African Police Brigade in World War 2 would have been missing had not Brigadier Cooper, in his inimitable, direct and breezy style, written this book.

The Brigade contributed magnificently in the early ups and downs of the gruelling Western Desert Campaign until it became one of the victims of the TOBRUK disaster." - from the Foreword
