Cover Notes
Twenty years after the Falklands
War, those deeply affected by its horrors and its glories - islanders,
soldiers, politicians - pool their most vivid memories to produce a poignant
and graphic reminder of the islands by Argentina and their liberation by
the British Task Force.
Contributors include Margaret
Thatcher, Rex Hunt, Sir John Nott, Denzil Connick, Rick Jolly, Simon Weston,
Julian Thompson, Hew Pike, John Kiszeley, Cecil Parkinson, Max Hastings
and David Owen, but the majority of stories are from lesser known people
- those at the sharp end.
Packed with more than 50
stunning photographs of the campaign and its aftermath, Memories of the
Falklands provides a unique reminder of an extraordinary episode in British
history.

A
fascinating collection of accounts from the politicains, soldiers sailors
and airmen, who recount their part in the last great colonial war Britain
may ever fight, from the combat troops at the sharp end to the people at
home in 82 this is a first class book and a welcome adition to anyones
library who is interested in the Falklands war. This is totally unbiased
and has nothing to do with me being in it!

No
bullshit. Just straight talking from straight guys. Like the guys that
you see in the pub.Quiet guys, drunken guys. Old men .Who were once young
men, and gave up some of their youth to help keep the world a free place.Ensuring
that free choice was avaiable for all.It doesn't come free and the price
was high. Here are some of stories from the men that were there. War is
often a lot more that just bullets and bombs.It's full of emotion, fear,
funny situations and lots of times unasuming heroism. We can't share the
bullets or the bombs with you, but we can share the odd moment,take the
time to have a read. We made time for you......once.

Without
doubt a good book, it has to be because it's the story of ordinary men
with heaps of courage, but who is reaping the rewards from this courage?
