Nigel West

The twentieth anniversary edition of Nigel West's classic account, fully updated and complete with astonishing new revelations. The Secret War for the Falklands is the hitherto undisclosed story of how the Argentines planned the invasion, and why the massive amphibious attack took the British government by surprise. Based on previously classified documents and interviews with international intelligence personnel, Nigel West has reconstructed the amazing events that led up to the conflict. Why was HMS Sheffield sunk? Who tapped the telephones of the Argentine mission to the UN in New York? Who were the people in the Current Intelligence Group who knew the real odds against success? And why did the SAS raid, codenamed MIKADO, on an Exocet base in Tierra del Fuego, fail so disastrously? Exciting reading, mixing graphic description and studied investigation Frank Cooper, The Times Extremely well written.
