THE ACCLAIMED BEST-SELLER With a Foreword by The Rt. Hon. Margaret Thatcher "The best book about the Royal Navy at war since Monsarrat wrote 'The Cruel Sea' forty years ago" GORDON MACKENZIE, 'Daily Mail' "A first-class account of the Falklands War - thrilling as well as lucid in explaining the complicated technology that dictated its tactics; vivid in its description of what it all looked and felt like; magnanimous in its judgement of men. Best of all, it gives a wonderfully penetrating account of 'the interior workings of the mind of a battle commander'. As enlightening as it is enthralling" RICHARD OLLARD "One of the clearest and frankest accounts ever written of modern naval warfare" FIELD MARSHAL LORD CARVER, 'Sunday Telegraph' "Not since Lord Nelson has any senior naval commander described so frankly the loneliness of high command" TOM POCOCK, 'The Times' "One of the most gripping, convincing and realistic accounts of a naval battle ever published" JOHN KEEGAN, 'Daily Telegraph' "A compulsive narrative with a strongly human undertone" GENERAL SIR JOHN HACKETT, 'Spectator' "Perceptive, vivid and engaging" GUARDIAN.
