This is a very good look at the Falklands War written by the amphibious forces commander and told from his point of view. I have read a number of books about that war and each has presented to me a new perspective on the fighting. The author has concentrated on his role which included command of all ships, aircraft and initially the land forces on and in the immediate vicinity of the Falkland Islands. His focus in the book was more on the command and logistical aspects although he did discuss the fighting as well. Highly recommended, although the Kindle version suffers from a poor job done of proofreading after scanning from a printed version; there are endless examples of "or" used instead of "of", that kind of thing. Annoying but not critical. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A British Naval commander's eyewitness account of the 1982 war in the South Atlantic. Since he was in charge of the amphibious operations in the Falklands War, it goes without saying that there is no one better qualified to tell the story of that aspect of the campaign than Commodore Michael Clapp. Here he describes, with considerable candor, some of the problems met in a Navy racing to war and finding it necessary to recreate a largely abandoned operational technique in a somewhat ad hoc fashion. During the time it took to "go south," some sense of order was imposed and a not very well defined command structure evolved, this was not done without generating a certain amount of friction. He tells of why San Carlos Water was chosen for the assault and the subsequent inshore operations. Michael Clapp and his small staff made their stand and can claim a major role in the defeat of the Argentine Air and Land Forces. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
