Within 2 weeks of the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, 4 men of boat troop, B Squadron, 22 SAS, are on the islands too. Operating without backup, it is the mission of these 4 men to gather vital intelligence, with Argentine patrols everywhere and in an impossible terrain. The rest of B Squadron are tasked with a suicide mission: an attack on the Argentine patrols everywhere and in an impossible terrain; and an attack on the Argentine airbase in the mainland. And in charge is a man unafraid to risk the lives of his men in search of greater personal glory...

  Most of this story is true; the rest of it so easily could have been. This is the story of what would have happened if the SAS Boat Troop had carried out their daring mission to storm the main Argentine airbase before the Falklands war had ended.
