3.0 out of 5 stars A book depicting a special kind of courage ., 28 Jul 2006

By	Mr. J. M. Dillon "Mike Delta" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If one is interested in military history especially from the view point of individual participants then this book is a "must have".
I found it easy to relate to the experiences written by individuals in this book. Indeed, I found their honesty and personal courage and fears "authentic" in so far as none of the contributors have tried to gloss over the actual fears they felt when confronted by the "grim reaper".
Individual courage shown by all ranks is demonstrated throughout the book and my only critisism is that there must have been scores of others who peformed equally as well but did not get a mention. However, for its size, this book has mangaged to show us a "snap shot in time" of some of the brave acts carried out by individuals during the Falklands War.
What finally sums up the epitome of "British Grit" is the final chapter written by Rear Admiral Woodward who demonstrates the type of courage required of a commander who must remain detached during any military conflict. He comes across as a very caring but professional man knowing that some of his decisions will most likely cost the lives of some of his subordinates. Now that takes a very special kind of inner courage and Woodward demonstrates it well.
I highly recommend this book for readers of miltary history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grit and determination...., 27 Aug 2007

By	David I. Howells "outlawcatcher" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a compilation of compelling first-hand accounts of modern war by British soldiers, sailors and airmen involved in every incident of the Falklands conflict. The accounts are graffic, gripping and each one gives a secular viewpoint from the serviceman involved that gives a rough overview of a short, intense and brutal war. I was there in 1982...with this in mind I found the book informative and cast new light on areas of operations that I was not involved in.

The book highlights very well what we all now...that due to cut backs, political mis management and the tenuous logistical supply line that this conflict was a close run thing. In the main however it shows how, as always, the grit and determination of the British serviceman shines through no matter what the conditions and no matter what the odds. We should never have one this one!
