Description

British Commando George Thomsen's action-filled account of combat during the Falklands War. Seen through the eyes of Section Commander George Thomsen, this inspiring first-hand account, tells of the tension-packed lead up, and the heroic stand, by a tiny band of brothers on one of the most inhospitable islands on the planet - South Georgia. They fought alone - besieged, isolated, and against an overwhelming invasion force - and yet had the enemy reeling on the ropes. This is the story of true British grit, sheer bloody-mindedness, professionalism and ingenuity. The Royal Marines' courageous action on that extraordinary day changed the balance of the South Atlantic war. This was a modern-day Rorke's Drift when world events literally took too few too far. Twenty-five years after these events took place, this is George Thomsen's true story, as told to Malcolm Angel.

Author Biography:

George Thomsen was in the Royal Marines for twelve years. He now owns his own high-end audio manufacturing business and lives in Poole. Malcolm Angel was born a Londoner but grew up in Dorset where he lives with his wife Anne. His varied career has led him from employment in advertising and media in the head office of a holiday camp company, to a spell in the motor industry, before branching out into his own family business. He is a designer and planning consultant and has worked for many years in theatre management. He was a Mayor at the age of 38, is a first dan in British Tomiki Aikido and a member of the exclusive Thursday Writers.
