FALKLANDS: VOYAGE TO WAR

Spring, 1982. The government of Argentina seizes control of an obscure group of islands in the South Atlantic. And the Falklands War, the last great naval conflict of the 20th century, is about to begin. On board HMS Illustrious a naval officer started keeping a diary – the story of a young man embarking on a terrifying adventure from which he couldn’t know if he would return alive. A fascinating glimpse into the psychology of going into battle for the first time, the anxiety, anticipation and excitement are captured in brilliant detail, as is the intense preparation that went into recapturing the islands.
