(Subject: Post World War II - Falklands) The SAS, MI6 and the war Whitehall nearly lost. The Falklands conflict was the first time the Royal Navy had been engaged by an enemy since 1945. It was a test of the world's latest air and defence systems and a unique opportunity to push competing fighters to their limits. This book focuses on Operation Corporate, the task force assigned to retake the Falklands, and on the clandestine efforts to deny General Galtieri the one weapon that could have turned Corporate into a humiliating defeat for Britain, the French manufactured Exocet missile.
