Description

The South Atlantic skies were a battleground in 1982, and the true story of what happened there has long been shrouded in controversy. This book is a candid account of the events by a Naval Air Squadron Commander, who was not afraid to speak truth to power. The author's insider perspective sheds light on the inter-Service rivalries and dangerous ignorance that plagued senior commanders during the conflict. The author's outspoken account is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Falklands War and the role of the Royal Navy in it. With access to previously classified information, the book provides a unique insight into the decision-making processes and the challenges faced by those on the front lines. This book is a valuable addition to the history of the Falklands War, and is sure to be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the complexities of this conflict.
