On June 14, 1982, after a bloody war on land and sea and in the air, British forces forced the Argentinians to surrender in the Falkland Islands. Vital to that great victory, but hidden behind a veil of secrecy, were the many daring exploits of the legendary Special Air Service the SAS! Landed on enemy territory by boat, submarine, helicopter, aeroplane and parachute, the SAS performed tasks too dangerous for the average soldier. Surviving hunger, thirst, freezing cold, isolation, silence and constant danger, the SAS gathered vital intelligence, engaged in espionage, disrupted enemy communications and, when, necessary, attacked and killed the enemy. Now, at last in fictional form, for reasons of security, but firmly based on fact the extraordinary story of the SAS's involvement in the Falklands can be told. Soldier B SAS: Heroes of the South Atlantic is the second in a series of novels based on this extraordinary regiment a thrilling 'factoid' adventure about the most daring soldiers in military history: the SAS!

The Falklands War, which may prove to be the last 'colonial' war that Britain ever fights, took place in 1982. Fought 8,000 miles from home soil, it cost the lives of 255 British military personnel, with many more wounded, some seriously. The war also witnessed many acts of outstanding courage by the UK Armed Forces after a strong Task Force was sent to regain the islands from the Argentine invaders. Soldiers, sailors and airmen risked, and in some cases gave, their lives for the freedom of 1,820 islanders. Lord Ashcroft, who has been fascinated by bravery since he was a young boy, has amassed several medal collections over the past four decades, including the world's largest collection of Victoria Crosses, Britain and the Commonwealth's most prestigious gallantry award. Falklands War Heroes tells the stories behind his collection of valour and service medals awarded for the Falklands War. The collection, almost certainly the largest of its kind in the world, spans all the major events of the war. This book, which contains nearly forty individual write-ups, has been written to mark the fortieth anniversary of the war. It is Lord Ashcroft's attempt to champion the outstanding bravery of our Armed Forces during an undeclared war that was fought and won over ten weeks in the most challenging conditions.

A World War II merchant seaman, John Bunker takes a thorough look at the American merchant marines' significant contributions to the war effort. There are plenty of fascinating facts about their extensive supply operations, but the focus of the book is on the men and their often-heroic actions. Bunker draws from his own experiences to describe the action at sea and also includes the personal stories of many other civilian participants. It is an engaging portrayal of the courage, bravery, and ingenuity demonstrated by these merchant seamen. All theaters of operation using U.S. merchant ships are covered; in addition, Bunker provides information on events before the country entered the war when efforts were being made to build more ships and to recruit the men necessary to crew the huge fleet.
