A gem
I've read a ton of Falklands histories/ memoirs etc. Some excellent (Sharkey Ward, Vulcan 607, Max Hastings etc) and some not so good. At first glance (ie when I ordered it for myself for Christmas off here) I thought this would at best be readable, and worse case a reference book for the shelf. I have to say I was totally wrong. This is an absolute little gem. Really readable, lots of detail that doesn't get too bogged down in itself, and lots and lots of anecdotes from those that took part. Its very well put together and reminds in some respects of the Martin Middlebrook approach which more often that not makes for a pretty good read.
Recommended.

No Sea Too Rough
An excellent book that tells the story of a little known fleet, which are owned by the MOD, but manned by Merchant Seamen. I was entralled by the book and the story it has to tell of the work of the RFA and the supply line it forged with the Merchant Navy to keep the Royal Navy and Army supplied so that they could achieve a decisive victory.
