First published in 1984 and republished four times since, Falklands Commando is a gripping eye-witness account of the Falklands War and a definitive work on Special Forces operations during the conflict.
Captain Hugh McManners took part in the first British Special Forces combat mission to land on East Falkland, preparing for the Royal Navy landings. His mission was to prevent an Argentine heavy weapons company from attacking the ships as they entered San Carlos Water.
This riveting narrative is Hugh’s first-hand account of a remarkable, dangerous and highly unlikely British military operation. As both a planner and a field operator, his book provides a unique perspective of both naval and Special Forces operations. He describes life in his five-man forward observation team with keen insight and a wry sense of humour.
The book follows Hugh’s journey from the first days of the conflict to the triumphant return and the aftermath, capturing the full scope of this historic campaign.
‘…an immensely detailed but wholly real picture of what soldiering is like’ – The Times
‘…exciting, well told, and frequently hair-raising’ – The Daily Telegraph
