A review of the Falklands War
- Thread starter Strategos' Risk
- Start date
The author is hysterically funny. Has he written any other fiction?
"He" is actually a she - Dr Alison Brooks to be precise, sadly no longer with us. As well as the Falklands war piece that website also includes what must be quite the most thorough and comprehensive takedown of Sealion related absurdities you will ever see anywhere.
As to other writings, Dr Brooks was a regular contributor to the SHWI newsgroup back in the day and if you search there you will find plenty of her stuff.
This is hilarious! Must have More!
I offer my condolences
Okay, seriously. This just illustrates what a ridiculous path our world has followed. Half the time, when reading about WWII or some cold war crisis, I just cannot believe that things happened the way they did. D-Day, for instance. It succeeded basically because Eisenhower's weather forcaster made a wild guess, and no one wanted to wake up Hitler. If the forcaster was wrong, or hitler was woken up, the battle would have been much different. Probable end result is nuclear weapons used on Germany.

It's even more implausible than that. 25 years later (around the 25th anniversary) released MoD files suggested that had the Argentinians not surrendered then, Britain was within ten days of surrendering itself. Does the Falklands War count as proof of the existence of ASBs?
