Description
The Falklands War's pivotal battles are told through the eyes of Philip Neame, who commanded D Company, 2 PARA, during the conflict. On 1 April 1982, the Argentinian junta invaded the Falkland Islands, prompting the 2nd Battalion the Parachute Regiment to be recalled from leave and assemble a task force to recover the Islands. The battalion's journey to the Falklands was a grueling 8000 miles on a North Sea ferry, before they arrived at the battle-scarred islands. D Company played a crucial role in the battalion's success, but also suffered a deadly artillery barrage in the closing moments of the conflict. This searingly honest and humorous account explores the realities of war, from the tightrope between success and disaster to the strength of companionship and the solitude of fear. Neame's memoir is a tribute to the band of brothers who fought, cursed, and laughed together to win through on the 'ringing plains of windy Troy'.
