Covernotes
Reasons in Writing is probabaly the only book to have been written by someone who knew the Islands before during and after the 1982 conflict.   As such it has a true and authentic ring to it - written by someone who was privy to many of the secrets and who had an almost unlimited ability  to move about the battle field.
This is the only book that has been  able to put the planning into perspective and to dispel the myth that Admiral Woodward chose San Carlos.  The book also contains the only correct account of the eventgs that led up to the tragedy to the two LSLs at Fitzroy.  The author is in the role of the small boy who had the courage to tell the emperor that he had no clothes on.

Much humour, humility and fine writing by not only a profressional commando soldier but now a professional writer.
