Adm. Sandy Woodward, a brilliant military tactician, presents a complete picture of the British side of the battle. From the defeat of the Argentine air forces to the sinking of the Belgrano and the daring amphibious landing at Carlos Water, his inside story offers a revealing account of the Royal Navy's successes and failures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt times reflective and personal, Woodward imparts his perceptions, fears, and reactions to seemingly disastrous events. He also reveals the steely logic he was famous for as he explains naval strategy and planning. His eyewitness accounts of the sinking of HMS \u003ci\u003eSheffield\u003c\/i\u003e and the Battle of Bomb Alley are memorable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany Britons considered Woodward the cleverest man in the navy. French newspapers called him Nelson. Margaret Thatcher said he was precisely the right man to fight the world's first computer war. Without question, the admiral's memoir makes a significant addition to the official record. At the same time it provides readers with a vivid portrayal of the world of modern naval warfare, where equipment is of astonishing sophistication but the margins for human courage and error are as wide as in the days of Nelson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.89 x 8.93 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53639086113101,"sku":"9781557506528","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/OSt2UFl3aVYwNkNLUEUvVjROS2dTdz09.webp?v=1775055048","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/one-hundred-days-the-memoirs-of-the-falklands-battle-group-commander-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
