Summary: Summary of this Great Falklands Book
Comment: Excellent. Of the many books I have read about the Falklands War and Goose Green and this is the most readable, informative and concise read. The book goes into great details about the individual movements of soldiers, the death of Col 'H', and the real problems they faced, quite an eye-opener. Great Maps, great narrative, couldn't put it down. I'm now looking for another book by the same author!

Summary: It takes you there as if you were in Estevez's platoon
Comment: Great book. I truly admire the young Argentine conscripts. The majority in the Falklands fought with courage and valour. After reading Nick van der Bijl's "Nine Battles to Stanley" (Leo Cooper Limited, 1999)I have nothing but admiration for the young teenage soldiers of Colonel Mohammed Seineldin's 25th Commando-trained Regiment. No wonder it took the Paras 12 hours to crush Task Force Mercedes. Mark Adkin's book read with Bijl's book proves that conscripts can fight well in battle providing their platoon commanders are made of the right stuff. A well written book about the battle. But I must stress that it should be read along with Bijl's book who establishes that the 25th Regiment of Argentina was indeed a crack formation (the equivalent of a regiment of the Hitlerjugend during the battle for Normandy in WW2 in esprit de corps and fighting spirit).
