Harrier Book

Hi
I have just finished reading an excellent book called RAF HARRIER GROUND ATTACK, FALKLANDS by Sqn Ldr Jerry Pook. (He had no time for the RN Sen Officers).
What I would like to know does this give a GOOD and TRUE picture about what happened because it sounds like with the attitude of SOME RN Sen Officers towards the RAF they should never have been there???
Beside that it is a great book to read.

Standing by for the incoming.................
If you've read Sharkey Wards book, you'll probably find the truth lies somwhere between the two versions!

David Morgan's is good too - "Hostile Skies".

Sandy Woodward's 100 Days puts an interesting 'command' perspective over the whole thing as well.

Bought this the other day, but haven't read it yet, so no spoiling it, by giving away how it ends.
