註釋The tense days of the Falklands War comes alive in this thrilling novel, based on the author’s experiences as a sailor in the Royal Navy. 100 Days relates what a group of British sailors, a Harrier pilot, and a Parachute regiment soldier faced in the Falklands. It also tells about the families they left behind. As the operation to retake the islands unfolds, follow the war alongside those who fought. HMS Fearless suffered five days of air attacks in San Carlos water, known as “bomb alley.” Peterborough was attacked as it protected the landing area, only to sink in the South Atlantic. The Harrier pilot is shot down. He finds himself in the middle of a battle and is befriended by a soldier who is later shot and killed right next to him. After the war, the key characters struggle to reconcile their survival while their comrades died. The character Chris Carpenter on HMS Fearless is autobiographical.
