The book is about as impartial an account from the other side that you could have hoped for, but leaves certain myths unchallenged - such as the Invincible ‘attack’. That’s a shame as what the Argentine pilots did and achieved, rotary, military, civilian all was outstanding and extremely brave; they need no false myths recounting.
And the umm questionable pay safety lol when all troops were sat on floor of Aerolineas Argentina 737L as opposed to seats...
