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).

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 ?
