From: Michael Edelman <MEDELMA@CMS.CC.WAYNE.EDU> One of the best books I've read on the Falklands war (and the only one in my library not out on loan) is "2 Para Falklands: The Battalion At War", by Major General John Frost, Sphere Books (Penguin group). I don't know if it's been published in the US; my copy, purchased at the Army Museum in London, has prices for UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada only. The book is, as the title indicates, a detailed narrative of the activities of 2 Para from leaving Aldershot to the final victory. Very readable to non-experts (like me). --mike edelman medelma@cms.cc.wayne.edu

I don't know Just out of interest, I remember reading the book "A Bridge Too Far" that there was a Colonel Frost with the British Paratroopers that landed in Arnhem. Is that the same man or may be someone related to him ? -- Anthony Lee (Michaelangelo teenage mutant ninja turtle) (Time Lord Doctor) ACSnet: anthony@batserver.cs.uq.oz TEL:+(61)-7-371-2651 Internet: anthony@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au +(61)-7-377-4139 (w) SNAIL: Dept Comp.
