If you want a strategic view of the Falklands Conflict, or a detailed day-by-day history then it's best to look elsewhere.
But if you want to learn from what seems a very private man about his feelings of being sent to war in the latter part of his career, how he was as afraid as his crew but couldn't show it and how he and his ship's company felt that they had somehow failed when the ship - their home, workplace and mode of transport - was attacked by what the author himself acknowledges were brave enemy pilots, then read this book.
And if you are not moved by the sadness of the loss of his command, the physical ship, the men who were injured and killed and the sudden end of his raison d'etre - at least as far as the conflict was concerned - and his multiple feelings of being able to return home again, then you must be made of stone.
A wonderful book on so many levels - personal memoire, leadership, coping with trauma and loss and (that awful phrase) 'moving on'.
