An account of the Falklands conflict from a senior fighting participant, drawing on both British and Argentinean sources. It includes insights into the difficulties and frustrations of command -difficulties not eased by the knowledge that the operation being attempted was balanced on a knife-edge between triumph and disaster, knowledge that could not be shared. Few, if any, of the public knew that informed military opinion in the United States regarded the Falklands operation as Mission Impossible. Some British Army and Air Force officers were opposed to the operation because they thought it would fail. The fighting on land was crucial to success: navies can lose wars, but only land forces can win them. As Julian Thompson makes plain in this account, the lions' share of the fighting on land fell to 3 Commando Brigade. This is their story.
