Storming the Falklands: My War and After av Tony Banks
This is a rattling good read; it's written by someone who has had a second life as an entrepreneur after his Falklands experience and so includes many reflections that 30 years gestation reveal. The pace is fast and doesn't flag when coping with the obvious distressing details of the war itself. I particularly liked the Argentinian side of his story and his feelings for the islanders after his journey back there.

However I would have liked an index (have we lost the art of indexing books or does it cost too much? If the latter, drop me a note and I'll knock one up in my spare time...)

and I would have liked more on what we can all do to help deal with PTSD in others.… (mer)
