Product Description

Product Description

Spring 1982. The government of Argentina sizes control of an obscure group of islands in the South Atlantic. And the Falklands War, the last great naval conflict of the 20th-century, is about to begin.

On board the HMS Illustrious a young naval officer started keeping a diary of the voyage to the South Atlantic - the story of a young man embarking on a terrifying adventure from which he couldn't know if he would return alive.

Ghost-written from the original diaries by the best-selling military thriller writer James Barrington 'Falklands: Voyage To War' gives a fascinating glimpse into the psychology of a junior officer going into conflict for the first time. The anxiety, anticipation and excitement are captured in brilliant detail, as is the intense planning and preparation that went into recapturing the island.

It is a unique insight into one of the most famous British military victories.

'Falklands: Voyage To War' is a must-read for fans of real-life military stories such as Sniper One, 3 Para or Apache Down.

James Barrington is a trained military pilot and the author of worldwide best-sellers such as 'Manhunt', 'Payback' and 'Overkill'.

Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher.

This was the first time I've read a book on a royal navy carrier, very well written. Struggled to put it down, so get it.

This was interesting for me as I was onboard at the time & knew people mentioned within. I think it would be pretty 'hard going' for those with little knowledge of 'how the Navy works'

1.0 out of 5 stars Falklands Voyage To War 20 May 2012
By Jonboy

This book is described as being " On board the HMS Illustrious a young naval officer started keeping a diary of the voyage to the South Atlantic - the story of a young man embarking on a terrifying adventure from which he couldn't know if he would return alive."
I'm not sure what the purpose of this book actually is as HMS Illustrious took over from HMS Invincible long after the War had actually finished, she was simply there to relieve her sister ship and continue patrol therefore the description is more than a little far fetched
