"A fascinating account of three SAS missions to counter the Exocet missile... from ill-thought out ideas to near suicidal one-way trips onto enemy soil." -- Soldier Magazine

This is a revelatory account of three un-tabulated special forces operations, PLUM DUFF, MIKADO and KETTLEDRUM, that were tasked to destroy Argentina's Exocet missiles during the 1982 Falkland's campaign.

Interviews with the SAS officer commanding Operation PLUM DUFF, members of the reconnaissance patrol for Operation MIKADO, plus the navigator of the helicopter that flew eight troopers into Tierra del Fuego, has allowed the author to describe the tortuous events that led, instead, to a significant survival story.

The RAF pilots ordered to conduct an "assault-landing" of two Hercules onto Rio Grande air base during Operation MIKADO have spoken of the extraordinary procedures they developed: so have the commander of the SBS and the captain of the British submarine involved in Operation KETTLEDRUM.

The Super Étendard pilots who sank HMS Sheffield and MV Atlantic Conveyor and then "attacked" HMS Invincible, plus a key member of the Argentine special forces and the brigadier defending Rio Grande, add credence, depth and gravitas to the saga: as does an equally revealing interview with the SIS (MI6) officer who led the world-wide search for Exocets on the black market. Disturbing over-confidence by commanders at home was finely counter-balanced by stirring accounts of inspiring physical and moral courage across the South Atlantic.

Exocet Falklands is a ground-breaking work of investigative military history from which many salutary lessons can be learned.

"Between politics, diplomacy and barbouzeries, this well-documented work will lead you in the arcane of what should have changed the course of this war." -- Air Fan
