Falklands Index

Recently our attention has been drawn to a series of new books, articles and radio and television documentaries on the subjects covered by Britain's Small Wars. Their contents, in many cases, draw extensively on material published on this web site and used without acknowledgment or permission of the copyright holders.

When this site was created and developed, its aim, which remains, was to record those conflicts since 1945 in which British service personnel have been called upon to do their duty, reported as far as possible through the eye-witness accounts of those involved, and to create Honour Rolls, where none existed before, of those who gave their lives in service to their country. As a result this web site has become a valuable historical resource due to the voluntary efforts of our contributors, free from the profit-making needs of media publishers.

By using Britain's Small Wars copyright material without permission, some authors and publishers are not only taking credit falsely for their work, they are dishonoring British forces and their achievements. While we do not have the resources to 'police' the use of our material nor pursue costly litigation, we usually give permission freely to those who approach us to quote passages from our pages for their use. In fact, they honor us by doing so. All we request is that they acknowledge the fact in their published work.

	DIVER By Tony Groom Seafarer Books £9.95 (pb)		HOSTILE SKIES My Falklands Air War David Morgan Orion Press £16.99 (hb)
Diver is an honest, moving and sometimes hilarious account of a hair-raisingly exciting career, both in the Royal navy and commercial deep-sea diving - training the most unlikely of raw recruits... handling unexploded bombs while under air attack... living for months in a pressurised bottle witha voice like Donald Duck... commuting to work through a hole in the floor in the freezing, black depths of the North Sea.		An intensely personal account of the Falklands War, seen through the eyes of a Sea Harrier pilot who probably saw more action than any other pilot. He describes the intense emotions of war, the euphoria, the bathos and the raw fear. Also the quiet periods of reflection, the personal thoughts that cannot be shared without the risk of ridicule. BSW are proud to include an Extract from Hostile Skies.
