Falklands Commando

[Bringer]

Picked up the rereleased copy of this book by Hugh McManners the other day. Haven't had too much time to read it yet, but it's reignited my interest in the Falkland's campaign. It's simply amazing what the men there did.

Any other recommended books, for a "man on the ground" view of Operate Corporate?

No Picnic' Julian Thompson
The Battle For The Falklands' Max Hastings & Simon Jenkins

The list is a long and impressive one, and there have been a few new additions lately. Have a look on Amazon you will find most listed.

Theres a book called "CQB" by mike curtis about his time in 2 para in the falklands and later in the sas.

Theres a big section on the battle for darwin hill and goose green.

Very sobering stuff.


Totally agree with you bringer, breathtaking achievements and total respect to all who fought in the conflict.

I've read Mike Curtis's book, and you're right. The description of that attack was so vivid it sent shivers down my spine.

I'll check those two out, thanks ratso.
