Signals From the Falklands: A Naval Anthology Kindle Edition

A naval historian presents a collection of personal accounts from British naval servicemembers who contributed to victory in the Falklands.

Fearing that the achievements of Britain’s Navy in the Falklands War would go unrecognized, John Winton let it be known that he was compiling a book of personal, firsthand accounts on the subject. The response was overwhelming, and Signals from the Falklands represents only a fraction of the stories, letters, journal entries, and recorded interviews he received.

Here is a candid recounting of that brief but successful campaign from those who served in all ranks and trades with the Royal Navy and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. Some of the contributors, like the aptly named Sam Salt will be familiar to many; others are not well known. All who served on board any ship which ‘went south’ in that strange nut epic endeavor in 1982 will be grateful to John Winton for this lasting tribute to their bravery, their sacrifice, and their abiding sense of humor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Having been there at the time, it was interesting to read through the experiences of others from the top ranks to those who also served.

It's warts and all enough to give an authentic feel and is often written from the survivors perspective.

As ever with John Winton, having been a Naval Officer, he's sympathy to the subject whilst maintaining a sense of reality.
