  In August 1992, a Public Enquiry was launched by the MOD and Malcolm Rifkind, headed by the Serious Crime Squad, into war crimes allegedly committed by one of the members of 2 Para Regiment during the Falklands War. To counter-balance the findings of the enquiry, the author wrote this book to help civilians understand the reality of being a common soldier in the heat of war - the time when the rule book and common morality are most likely to be abandoned. Perhaps the most shocking truth of all to emerge from these first-person accounts concerns the appalling treatment that the Argentinian conscripts recieved at the hands of their own officers. The book is based on interviews with eight Argentinian soldiers and five British paratroopers.

  The true story of of the bloodiest battle of the Falklands conflict, the Battle of Mount Longdon, as recounted by 12 foot soldiers from the ranks - eight Argentinians and four Britons. It describes the appalling treatment the Argentinian conscripts suffered at the hands of their own generals; the emotions of soldiers meeting face-to-face ten years after they tried their hardest to kill one another; and the terror of battle as experienced by the ordinary soldier. The author, who also wrote Excursion to Hell , joined the Parachute Regiment in 1978 at the age of 20. After service in Canada, Oman, Northern Ireland and the Falklands, he was assigned to training recruits. He left the army as a Lance Corporal in 1987.
