Description
The Falklands Commando is a gripping account of the author's experiences during the Falklands War. In 1982, Captain Hugh McManners led a five-man forward observation team on a perilous mission to prevent an Argentine heavy weapons company from attacking British ships. The team's bravery and skill are on full display as they navigate treacherous seas, conduct reconnaissance missions, and carry out night-firing missions to destroy enemy artillery. From the initial days of the conflict to the triumphant return, McManners' team faces numerous challenges, including near-disastrous small boat operations and tense night helicopter insertions. Their actions are critical to the success of the British military operation, as they target enemy artillery guns, missiles, and radars to protect the ships and support the British Commandos and Paras. This book provides a unique perspective on the war, drawing on the author's experience as both a planner and a field operator. With its gripping narrative and behind-the-scenes insights, The Falklands Commando offers a fascinating look at the Special Forces operations during the Falklands War.
