Cap’s latest book-club pick
Sea Harrier Over the Falklands
By Sharkey Ward
Cap came to this book after reading other accounts of the Falklands conflict, making Ward’s perspective particularly interesting.
Alongside the detail of Sea Harrier operations, what stood out was Ward’s account of his struggles with the naval establishment. For Cap, the portrayal of inter-service rivalry was a real eye-opener.
“Every book you get someone else’s angle, and this is just another angle.”
Cap’s verdict: “Superb. Fantastic.”
