Down South Book Reviews
Down South by Chris Parry Book Summary
Down South by Chris Parry - one man's astonishing diary of war in the Falklands
'A gripping account of heroism - and chaos - in the South Atlantic' Mail on Sunday
'Compelling, gripping. A vividly written, thought-provoking and engaging account' The Times
In 1982 Lieutenant Chris Parry sailed aboard destroyer HMS Antrim to liberate the Argentine-occupied Falkland Islands. Parry and his crew, in their Wessex helicopter, were soon launched into action rescuing an SAS party stuck on a glacier in gales that had already downed two others. Soon after they single-handedly pursued and fatally wounded a submarine before taking part in terrifying but crucial drop landings under heavy fire. Down South is a hands on, day-by-day account of war fought in the most appalling conditions by men whose grit and fighting spirit overcame all obstacles.
This important and extraordinary book of recent history will be enjoyed by readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.
