The Royal Navy and the Falklands War.
David Brown (Head of the Naval Historical Branch)
First Published 1987.
I bought this secondhand book at the RSPCA opportunity shop here in Adelaide, South Australia for $3.
Information from the front cover overlap.
In this book David Brown, head of what was formerly the Naval Historical Branch at the Ministry of Defence, tells in full for the first time the extraordinary story of how the fleet was assembled; of how merchant ships from luxury liners such as the Canberra to cargo ships of every description were 'Taken Up From Trade' and, in a staggeringly short time, converted in to their new role.
A Google search of this book title brings up a wide range of different prices and information about the book.
