Description
The Falklands War was a pivotal moment in British military history, and the Royal Marines played a crucial role in the conflict. In "Mountain Commandos at War in the Falklands", Rod Boswell recounts the experiences of the Royal Marines Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre, who conducted vital reconnaissance missions and provided essential intelligence for British forces. Boswell's account is based on his own recollections and those of his comrades, offering a unique insight into the operational skills of this small, specially trained unit. The book describes the unit's operations in the Falklands, including the observation posts set up in no man's land, the raid on Top Malo House, and the reconnaissance patrols carried out close to the Argentine lines. Through his first-hand account, Boswell provides a fascinating glimpse into the entire experience of the Falklands War from the Royal Marines' point of view, including the long voyage south, the landings, the advance, and the liberation of Stanley.
