Battalion level view of Combat, July 17 2005
By Michael Short - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take That Hill!: Royal Marines in the Falklands W (Hardcover)
Nick Vaux's memoir of his experiences as a Commando (battalion level) commander during the Falklands Island War should be mandatory reading for anyone aspiring to tactical command. His book, well written and entertaining, provides valuable insight into the stresses and strains that affect the commander. Battle focused training, hasty planning, and the effects of the environment on combatants are also topics that he addresses.

Outstanding narrative of leadership during Falklands., Feb 8 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take That Hill!: Royal Marines in the Falklands W (Hardcover)
Nick Vaux commanded the 42 Commando during the Falklands campaign and has written about it in this non-fiction work. This engaging, fast read follows his command from England to the Falkland Islands where the unit suffers appalling conditions and undergoes horrendous demands but has a spectacular fight in the final liberation of the island. This is highly recommended for members of the profession of arms and provides other readers a sense of the desperate conditions of modern war.

Great read about the inner workings of a 1980's Royal Marine Commando, Aug 27 2011
By Former Marine and deputy sheriff - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Take That Hill!: Royal Marines in the Falklands War (Paperback)
I found "Take that Hill!" to be a grat read about the inner workings of a Royal Marine Commando (equivelent to a battalion). This work gave me insight into the events just prior (mere days) to the Argentine invasion of the disputed Falkland Islands. Currently there is another dispute brewing over oil discoveries so this book is a great read for someone trying to understand the historical aspects of the dispute.
