The true story of the bloodiest battle of the Falklands conflict, the Battle of Mount Longdon, as recounted by 12-foot soldiers from the ranks – eight Argentinians and four Britons. It describes the appalling treatment the Argentinian conscripts suffered at the hands of their own generals; the emotions of soldiers meeting face-to-face ten years after they tried their hardest to kill one another; and the terror of battle as experienced by the ordinary soldier. The author, who also wrote “Excursion to Hell”, joined the Parachute Regiment in 1978 at the age of 20. After service in Canada, Oman, Northern Ireland, and the Falklands, he was assigned to training recruits. He left the army as a Lance Corporal in 1987.

Review: I thought this book by Vince Bramley was well written and refreshingly honest about the reality of war. I could relate to the fact that the real people that matter in war are the soldiers and their families. I knew some of the soldiers who died from both parachute battalions as I had the honour to serve with them in J P C in 1980-81. The politicians are divorced from the reality and blind to the needs of those who should be fully supported for life by the country they served, their families too. Vince Bramley has spoken out and done it well. I would recommend this book to be read by every soldier. It should be compulsory reading by all politicians and Sandhurst cadets. I was one of the British soldiers that were to serve alongside Argentinean soldiers in Croatia in 1992 and it annoyed me that some of the lads still saw them as the enemy because they had a friend die in the Falklands. They should read this book too.
