In early summer 1982 - winter in the South Atlantic - Argentina's military junta invades the Falklands. Within days, a Royal Navy Task Force is assembled and dispatched. This is the story of D Squadron, 22 SAS, commanded by Cedric Delves.

The relentless tempo of events defies belief. Raging seas, inhospitable glaciers, hurricane-force winds, helicopter crashes, raids behind enemy lines - the Squadron prevailed against them all, but the cost was high. Holding fast to their humanity, D Squadron's fighters were there at the start and end of the Falklands War. Theirs was the first Union Jack raised over Government House in Stanley.

Across an Angry Sea is a chronicle of daring, skill and steadfastness among a tight-knit band of brothers; of learning fast, fighting hard and winning through.

Great account of the defeat and humiliation for the invaders. Don't mess with Thatch.

FYI, a lot of acronyms

A personal account of the Falklands campaign from an SAS perspective, however, this is not in the usual Rambo style, but rather an honest account of the dilemas, problems, tragedies, indicision, pressures, regrets, mistakes etc...along with the triumphs, determination, courage and great accomplishments.
The narration is excellent, exactly suited to the tone of the book.
Highly recommended, an excellent listen!

So much better than the usual military memoir!

This book is very good. There is no disputing that. Unfortunately, it is slightly hard to keep up with. It's one where you cannot get distracted without paying a price for it. At times it's instructional and then it switches to what's happening in the Falklands. If you get off, it's hard to figure out where to find your place again. However, Benedict Blythe's narration is great. It couldn't be better. It's a personal account, and he's trying to guide the reader through it. And the elements, the actual war, and the happenings in the Falklands just leave the reader breathless. This is unbelievable. And these guys just do it without question. Here's to hoping a second or even third listen will fill in any blanks.

Will Require a Second Listen

Impossible to follow or imagine with lack of knowledge about falklands campaign. It’s like they dropped you in the middle of the nowhere with street signs to places you’ve never heard of.

Storyline is terrible
