In 1982, eight young Guards officers in their twenties found themselves suddenly on the way to the Falklands 8000 miles away from Britain. Some four decades later, they realised that no one had written the history of this unique war in Britain's history from their side - including coming under Argentine fire on Sir Galahad on 8 June, the most dramatic day in Britain's military history since the second world war. Crispin Black tells their story and casts a startling new light on what happened to them, using the latest official documents. Even basic facts have remained hidden to this day.
Crispin Black served as platoon commander of the Welsh Guards in the Falklands and survived the bombing of the HMS Sir Galahad. He was moved to Northern Ireland and Germany before joining the Ministry of Defence as COBRA intelligence liaison. A Colonel, he is a Fellow of Chatham House and has written for The Times, Guardian and Telegraph and commented on intelligence on the BBC, Channel 4, Sky and ITV.
