Interesting and thought provoking
The Falklands War was the first I had any experience of through the world of TV. This book though is the first time I have read anything about it.

It touches on the great levels of effort individuals went through to ensure the Falklands were returned into British hands. It also mirrors to some degree the current issues surrounding the quantity and quality of equipment our Armed Forces have to work with in the current day as well.

The book is well written although sometimes you feel as though you need some inside Military knowledge to ensure you are up to speed. As a minor gripe the author could have broken up a couple of the chapters to enable the book to flow better for the reader. However don't let this put you off.

Fascinating and compelling
One of the best narratives of the land war I have read from the man who lead the commando brigade. This is an excellent book that not only gives you the story of the retaking of the Falklands but also provides an insight into the thinking and rationale behind the way the war was fought with all the worries and concerns the commander has to bear. A rivetting read and really hard to put down, highly recommended.
