When Argentinian forces invaded the Falklands in April 1982, the British government responded by despatching a task force to the Atlantic to wrest back control of the islands. The resulting war saw modern weapon systems tested in combat for the first time, to tragic effect. In the aftermath, official documents were released, but many were heavily censored, and others withheld altogether, so that a full understanding of those events could not be gained. Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr Paul Brown details the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships – HMS AntelopeArdentCoventry and Sheffield, RFA Sir Galahad and SS Atlantic Conveyor – as well as the controversial sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror.

Thought Provoking

Firstly , I need to disclose an interest - ex 848 Sqdn embarked on Atlantic Conveyor.

So , the book ....

Probably more accurate in its detail than a number of people will feel comfortable with , a great deal of the Boards of Enquiry feedback will (hopefully) make one or two COs (whilst polishing their gongs) reflect on their decisions .

We were very fortunate to lose only six .

Very .
