Publisher Description
In early summer 1982 - winter in the South Atlantic - Argentina's military junta invades the Falklands. Within days, a Royal Navy Task Force is assembled and dispatched. This is the story of D Squadron, 22 SAS, commanded by Cedric Delves.
The relentless tempo of events defies belief. Raging seas, inhospitable glaciers, hurricane-force winds, helicopter crashes, raids behind enemy lines - the Squadron prevailed against them all, but the cost was high. Holding fast to their humanity, D Squadron's fighters were there at the start and end of the Falklands War. Theirs was the first Union Jack raised over Government House in Stanley.
Across an Angry Sea is a chronicle of daring, skill and steadfastness among a tight-knit band of brothers; of learning fast, fighting hard and winning through.

Across an angry sea
Terrific account, I had to listen again as soon as finished. Also far away the best narration I have heard in almost all books I have listened to. Read by someone highly literate who understands the army. A must for the military historian.
An amazing book that was painfully narrated
The story is one of daring, mistakes, loss and success. The narration, in my opinion, ruined a truly great book. Pauses were in the wrong place, it went from ear piercingly loud to inaudible. Certain abbreviations were spelled out every time when others were spoken phonetically. I would highly recommend buying the book to read, not the audio book.
