The Story of a Typically British Endeavour

During the Falklands war the British needed to render the then occupied Stanley airfield unusable for jets. This is a grippingly written account of how it was achieved using good old British ingenuity, imagination and fortitude.
To really enjoy this book I does help if you have an interest in engineering and Physics.

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.

Brilliant book

A very good read - shame the retailer sent me a Haynes manual for a Honda Civic instead of 607.....!!
