Summary

Forty years on from the Falklands Conflict, veteran Paul Cardin reflects on his own experiences while asking probing questions about what really went on before, during and after those 74 days of hostility.

As a 22-year-old radio operator in the Royal Navy, Paul was stationed on HMS Yarmouth when it was anchored in San Carlos Bay, known colloquially as Bomb Alley. During his time there, he saw ships being bombed and sunk and watched his friends and comrades being injured and killed.

Return to Bomb Alley 1982 is part memoir, part critical account of the way in which the Falklands Conflict was handled. Although often referred to as a war, neither Britain nor Argentina ever made a formal declaration but the days which followed the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands saw more than 900 people lose their lives and many others left with lasting physical and mental injuries.

This book is a gripping listen for anyone who wants to know more about the Falklands Conflict. As well as telling his own story through diary extracts and a timeline, the author takes a thorough and journalistic approach to this period of history, asking tough questions about why and how certain decisions were made, what was really going on in the background. Just what was the role played by the British Government and Margaret Thatcher? What were their main motivations and how did they use the conflict to their advantage in the years which followed?

The Great Awakening!

A fantastic first hand account of the FW littered with nuanced details of which many I wasn't aware of. The FW like all wars past and present are contrived by our death cult slave-masters for financial gain, political gain and the ultimate and complete enslavement of humanity. All being played out right now with the NATO proxy war in Ukraine backed and financed by the same psychopaths that are always behind these atrocities. This book gives me faith that humanity is finally waking up to the reality of the world we live in. I would recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and a functioning brain to gain an understanding of why the FW, like all wars are completely unnecessary and only benefit a minuscule amount of wealthy psychopaths that infect our world. How many million men and women have died in unnecessary wars to further the agenda of the few?
