WITH THE GURKHAS IN THE FALKLANDS: A WAR JOURNAL
by Mike Seear

The part played by the legendary Gurkhas in the Falklands War. Regarded as the world's finest infantry soldiers, the fearsome reputation of these Nepalese troops for blood-thirsty aggression instilled fear into the Argentines. They sailed with 5 Infantry Brigade on the QE2 and played a key role in the taking of the islands. The book provides a unique insight into a fighting force surrounded by mystique. It is both a serious and light-hearted account of the build-up, the battle, and the aftermath.
