The missile streaked across the wave tops at the speed of sound. A single metallic sliver packed with high explosive & spouting smoke. It shimmered against the dull blue of the South Atlantic swell its warhead primed its homing radar locked onto the British destroyer. In November 1981 at just 17 years old & only a few weeks out of his naval training Adam Joe Lawton was drafted onto HMS Sheffield a type 42 destroyer. What began as an adventure soon changed into a nightmare when Sheffield on her way home from protection duties in the Iran/ Iraq war was deployed to the South Atlantic following the invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentinian forces. Journey to Peace tells the story of the author's baptism by fire onboard HMS Sheffield when she was hit by an Exocet missile. Twenty of his shipmates died in appalling circumstances which for a young man on his first watch was beyond comprehension. In the months following the war Adam became what he himself called 'a nightmare'. Unable to grieve he was filled with anger hatred & aggression. To the despair of his family one violent episode followed another. Forced by a particularly astute Naval Lieutenant to confront his behaviour he promised to reform. Some years later now living in Australia Adam found the events of 1982 replaying themselves in his head.
