What sort of read are you after?
On a political bias or accounts by the booies that were there?
A good web site is :http://freespace.virgin.net/gordon.smit ... KLANDS.htm
This site actually has a section devoted to books on the conflict, along with views and ratings for the books.
Hope you find a good read.

Two books by Micheal Middlemoor. The best is that he is a historian and wants to know "What happened". He went to the Brits and interviewed them and produced Op Corporate.
He then went to the Argies and interviewed them and prodiced Fight for the Malvinas.
Get them both and read them one after another.
Like even an RTA there are two sides to each story, and two opinions.
The best was he spoke to blokes on the ground who were at the front.

Yes, but he also talked to the Boss and took his story. Yorkie. Yorky is for when I'm deep deep under cover.
