Eyewitness Falklands Robert Fox
Published to mark the 10th anniversary of the Falklands campaign, this is a revised edition which includes an additional chapter about what has happened to British military thinking, to the Falklands and to the author since 1982. After Argentinian soldiers had provoked the three-month battle by posing as scrap-metal dealers and raising their country's flag in South Georgia, Robert Fox was assigned by BBC Radio to cover the campaign. He was with the first British troops ashore, was one of the two reporters at the Battle of Goose Green, and later yomped across to Port Stanley for the final surrender. He subsequently received the MBE for his work there. The book offers the views of British officers and men, at sea and on land, of Argentinian prisoners and of the Falkland Islanders themselves.
