Description
Forty years have passed since the Falklands Conflict, a period of intense hostility that lasted 74 days. Paul Cardin, a veteran of the Royal Navy, reflects on his own experiences during this time, while also asking probing questions about the events that led up to and followed the conflict. As a radio operator on HMS Yarmouth, anchored in San Carlos Bay, Cardin witnessed the devastating effects of the conflict firsthand. He saw ships being bombed and sunk, and watched as friends and comrades were injured and killed. In "Return to Bomb Alley 1982", Cardin shares his story through diary extracts and a timeline, providing a personal perspective on this pivotal moment in history. The book also delves into the broader context of the conflict, examining the decisions made by the British Government and Margaret Thatcher, and the motivations behind them. Cardin's thorough and journalistic approach sheds new light on this period of history, making this a gripping read for anyone interested in the Falklands Conflict.
