Lines: 48 Approved: military@att.att.com From: John Precedo Here are a list of the books that I have come across about the Falklands War. Some are good, some are not so good. GENERAL BOOKS (to get a "feel" of the war, mostly personal accounts) Don't Cry For Me Sergeant-Major - Robert McGowan and Jeremy Hands Above All Courage - Max Arthur When The Fighting Is Over - John Lawrence and Robert Lawrence,MC (filmed as the BBC TV play "Tumbledown" - very evocative - see it if you can) MISC. Weapons Of The Falklands Conflict - Bryan Perry (Very generalised, and not as good as any encylopeadia of modern weapons, but a good starting point) Battles Of The Falklands War - Gordon Smith (Lots of maps and lists of units) MILITARY HISTORIES Task Force-The Falklands War,1982 - Martin Middlebrook The Battle For The Falklands - Max Hastings and Simon Jenkins The British Army In The Falklands,1982 - HMSO Falklands Commando - ??? <------ (Damn, I can't remember the author! Sorry) (follow one unit) The Land That Lost Its Heroes-The Falklands,The Postwar And Alphonsin - Jimmy Burns (More Socio-Political, but worth including for the balance, it's from the Argentine side) Now for a request - if anyone out there can provide unit lists for the Argentine units please post or e-mail me. I can't find anything in detail for "the enemy", lots of units lists and equipment lists for the British but the Argentine units lists are a lot more vague. Oh well! Hope this was of some use! -John =============================================================================== John Precedo JANET:jp@doc.ic.ac.uk Dept. of Computing, Huxley Building, This system goes up and down like a whore's drawers!
