‘100 days’ is an excellent account of the conflict without the bias and point scoring of others.
RIP Sir.

I used to watch BBC news night for the latest updates. I remember Sir Sandy Woodward being mentioned quite a lot. R.I.P. Cant believe its over 30 years ago. Feels like a couple of years ago to me. Where has the time gone.

I highly recommend his book. “One Hundred Days: Memoirs of the Falklands Battle Group Commander”
