Description
My Friends, The Enemy recounts the Falklands War from the perspective of the only Intelligence Corps in HQ 3 Commando Brigade and its Intelligence Section. This is a personal account supported by intelligence assembled since 1982.
Nick van der Bijl, a Staff Sergeant at the time, played a crucial role in providing accurate intelligence to Brigade Headquarters and deploying specialist skills. The Intelligence Section was heavily involved in collecting, collating, and distributing intelligence from various sources, including documents, prisoners of war, and counter-intelligence operations.
Van der Bijl's account offers a unique insight into the intelligence operations during the campaign, with some information proving to be accurate but also containing controversy, particularly surrounding the Battle of Goose Green. This is the first time that the story of intelligence operations has been told by someone who was present from the start of the campaign to its finish.
