For five years before the Falklands War, Hugh Bicheno was one of the top British spies in Argentina. As such, he gathered hard intelligence on Argentine intentions over the Falklands—which the British establishment then chose to ignore. The reasons behind this British decision, and its disastrous and inevitable consequences in the South Atlantic, are the main story of this book.

Well written and brilliantly illustrated. In short, a cracking read.' THE GUNNER 'Very detailed, ends a lot of myths. Fascinating and illuminating battle accounts.' SCOTTISH LEGION NEWS
