How things change! I was looking forward to reading this book as I have served with a couple of lads from both 2 & 3 Para who fought in the Falklands and have worked with many other Paras in more recent years.

10 out of 10. Read this Book! I devoured "Sod that" in just three sittings, and that doesn't often happen to me.

Excellent Excellent read.
Forget the history books,this book brings home the true reality of the Falklands War as experienced by the young soldiers of 3 Para.

A must read for all.
Thanks Mark for telling your story and helping us remember those who gave thier lives and those who still suffer today.
