Über diesen Titel
Tony Banks and his comrades of the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment were highly trained, but nothing could prepare them for the intensity and ferocity of fighting to liberate the Falkland Islands.
Plunged into a war of night attacks and vicious close-quarters combat, Banks and his fellow soldiers' fierce bravery and determination saw them through the bloodiest conflict British troops had faced in decades. Seventeen men died at Goose Green, a hard-fought battle the paras came close to losing.
After the Falklands, Banks suffered years of debilitating combat stress, a battle only recently won when he met his former enemies and laid the demons to rest.

Kritikerstimmen
It is an autobiography of a veteran and a tale of PTSD and the lifes affected by the war, both on the British and Argentinian side as well as of the Islanders. Mind-opening and a must-read/listen for anybody. It gets much better towards the end of the book.
The Narrator is great as well, but he should have researched how to pronounce some military terms and Spanish (especially Southamerican) names. His Spanish sounds like a really bad parody.
Great book
