3.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading for the history of the RN in the 1980s,
By edwin.king@virgin.net (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Endurance (Hardcover)
Barker's account of the naval side of the Falkland's War is fascinating reading, but more so is the telling of the backstairs campaign to save HMS Endurance.Barker, captain of Endurance in the build-up to and during the Falklands War, tells how military cutbacks led to the proposal that the ship be withdrawn from the South Atlantic and how that decision contributed to the Argintine invasion. Barker's campaign to save his ship brought the severe displeasure of Whitehall onto his head; displeasure in no way decreased when he was eventually proved right. He pulls no puches in laying out the mistakes made during the war and in his criticism of the war that Endurance and her drew were treated during and after it. |
