The events of the Falklands War with particular reference to the battle of Goose Green, where the British Battalion Commander, Colonel H. Jones, lost his life and won a posthumous Victoria Cross. The author examines the myths surrounding the battle and concludes that it was the system of tactical command known as "restrictive control" that nearly led to British defeat, and that the death of the 'H' resulted in a switch to "directive command" enabling the British to win the day. A controversial book, with lessons for military strategy, organisation and management generally.

A dramatic account of Cuban policy in Africa, its escalating clash with US policy and its direct military clashes with the South African Defence Force in Angola. The narrative gallops from Cuba's first hesitant steps in rendering assistance to Algerian rebels fighting France in 1961, to the war in the Congo (later Zaire and now the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1964-65, when 100 Cubans led by Che Guevara, acting in support of the Simba rebels, were confronted by white mercenaries from South Africa. The book revolutionises our view of Cuba's international role and challenges conventional beliefs about the Soviet Union in directing Cuba's action in Africa.

Tensions in Yugoslavia had been mounting since the early 1980s, but 1990 proved the decisive year as the country was facing rising nationalism amongst its ethnic groups. At the last Communist party conference in Belgrade in 1991, the congress voted for an end to the one-party system, as well as economic reform, which prompted the Slovenian and Croatian delegations to walk out and thus the break-up of the party. Revised and updated to include new material on the conflict in Bosnia as well as a glossary of Political terms and 2 additional maps.
