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.
