This review is from: Through Fire and Water: HMS Ardent: The Forgotten Frigate of the Falklands (Paperback)
Higgitt's book is an account of the ship HMS Ardent during the Falkland's War. He draws heavily on primary sources - letters, diaries and interviews carried out by himself. He shows with great clarity and sensitivity the experience of the young sailors who were given insufficient resources to fight and defend their ship. It is a book about heroes, but is without hype. It is a book that shows Whitehall what they demand of boys scarcely out of school, and damns them for their indifference. I am sure that this work will be a standard text for all who are interested in the Falklands War and how it was fought, the author should be commended for preserving this story.
