I couldn't put it down!
A truly incredible book. A factual account that reads like a thriller. Puts a whole new light on how Britain took The Falklands back and very nearly didn't, how it benefitted Thatcher's time in power and guaranteed her reelection. Does more too than hint at the effects of defence cuts and things to come. Since reading this book and passing it on, I'll often recommend to a friend and buy a second hand copy for them.
