Kurzbeschreibung
This is the story of the SAS raid on Pebble Island during the Falklands War. In atrocious weather, 48 men of 22 SAS Regiment were landed by Sea King Helicopter on the Island. Their task was to destroy the 11 enemy aircraft located at the Airstrip on the Island and neutralize the Argentinean force posted there to guard it. The raid was successful and all the Aircraft were destroyed but debate still goes on as to whether the raid was a political gesture to give the British Public some action or whether it was to knock out the Airbase that could have made life difficult for the landings at San Carlos Bay later in the War. The book covers sections on: history of the engagement, training and planning involved, equipment used, weapons file, breakdown of forces engaged, consequences and controversies as well as personal accounts of those involved.

First Strike In The Falklands
8. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you are a fan of the British Special Air Service (SAS) or the 1982 Falkland's War, this book provides every detail, and from both sides, of the UK's first response to Argentina. It also notes that the U.S. provided much needed intelligence from satellites that was put to good use by UK forces. Cooksey also notes the large role of the Special Boat Squadron (SBS). Pebble Island ( the book explains the name )and its importance to the Falkland's campaign is usually just a footnote in larger histories. But as Cooksey demonstrates, without the destruction of the Argentina aircraft at the grass strip on the island, there could be no landing of mass troops to take the Falklands back. This book is first in a new series and is very readable and fair to both sides. Interestingly, as the "Falklands War" is being re-examined by other authors in a negative fashion,at this time,this book of just over a 100 pages honors courage and standing up to tyranny, something that is out of fashion today. Of particular interest is the sacrifice made by Captain John Hamilton (SAS), who was actually recommended for the Victoria Cross, after his death in combat, and behind Argentine lines, not by his own government, but by the Argentine forces who fought againist him. The book should be purchased.
