Chronicles the bravery of D Company, 2 PARA, under Lieutenant Colonel 'H' Jones during the Falklands War's pivotal battles. After winning the first battle on the Falklands, 2 PARA was the only battalion to fight two major land battles, going on to fight at Wireless Ridge -- the final gateway to Port Stanley. D Company played the decisive role, but, in the closing moments, suffered a deadly artillery barrage from its own guns. Explores the Falklands War and the narrow margins between success, disaster, comedy, and tragedy. Describes the strength of companionship and the solitude of fear. Contains 20 black and white photos.
