Product Description

Thirty years after the Falklands War ' Secret Millionaire' Tony Banks is still haunted by his experiences in the South Atlantic. As a member of the crack Parachute Regiment his unit was the first to land on the Falklands & he fought in the bloody first & last battles of the war before liberating Port Stanley. In this memoir Tony vividly recalls the fighting in the Falklands. He relives the bombing raids in San Carlos bay, the Battle of Goose Green, the Argentinian attack on the Sir Galahad & the Battle of Wireless Ridge. But he also tells of his own battles with Combat Stress & of how three decades on the war is still claiming victims. He tells the stories of British & Argentine veterans & travels to Argentina to return a war trophy
- a trumpet he had taken from a prisoner
- to its rightful owner. The return of the trumpet brings closure to both men. & finally Tony returns to the Falklands to lay the ghosts that have haunted him to rest.
