4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential reading for the Falklands and Gulf wars,
By Jonathan Clarke (Canberra Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Call for Fire: Sea Combat in the Falklands and the Gulf War (Hardcover)
This is one of the most readable personal accounts of the Falkland and Gulf wars that I have encountered.Chris Craig commanded the frigate HMS Alacrity during the Falkalnds war. Alacrity was in the thick of action - searching for blockage runners (sinking one), was near-missed by an Argentine submarine, and carried out many fire support missions. Naval operations during the Gulf war have been overshadowed by the land campaign, even though it is unlikely that Desert Storm would have been possible without command of the sea. This book partly redresses that inbalance. Craig commanded the royal navy squadron during the conflict and this book provides much insight into naval operations.
