Major General Julian Thompson first wrote No Picnic when the
momentous events of April - June 1982 were fresh in his mind. As
Commander of 3 Commando Brigade, he was at the heart of the
planning and conduct of the War. Under his direct command had been
the Royal Marine Commandos and the two battalions of the Parachute
Regiment who conducted the lion's share of the
fighting.returncharacterreturncharacterNo-one therefore is better
qualified to tell the extraordinary story of there-taking of the
Falkland Islands from the Argentinians. The author, now a
celebrated military historian, has revised his early book and added
for this 25 Anniversary edition more of his own personal thoughts
and impressions.returncharacterreturncharacterIt is all too easy to
overlook just how perilous and risky a venture this expedition to
the depths of the Southern Hemisphere was. Victory and defeat hung
in the balance. Even those who feel they know about this most
remarkable of wars will learn more from reading this classic
account.
