By Ian R. Gardiner · 224 pages
Why this title matters
Company commander Ian Gardiner's account of 45 Commando's 8,000-mile sprint to the Falklands and the brutal yomp across its mountains — culminating in the successful night assault on Two Sisters. A book that combines frontline honesty with wider reflection on command, coalition warfare, and what it costs to keep a unit cohesive through a month of misery.
