I learned a lot reading this book. It tells the story of The Canberra a beloved cruise ship that becomes a war ship. The author does a wonderful job following the story of the ship before, during and after the war. I really liked reading about the crew who suddenly found themselves going to war. The book is very well written and easy to read. Also included are lots of wonderful photographs. Enjoy

This was an excellent book. I loved reading it so much. I just couldn't put it down. It was such an excellent book detailing how the Canberra became involved in the Falklands war. Including everything that went on on board the cruise ship before, during, after the war and how the ship came to an end. It was just so fascinating and I learnt so much from reading it. I just loved how the book flowed seamlessly from chapter to chapter giving me a complete and thrilling account of life on board. I really can't recommend this book enough. It would be a fantastic read for all those who love military history. Also those who loved to learn what it was like on board a cruise ship during the Falklands war . I will definitely be looking out for more books by this wonderful author. I just have to mention how I just loved the section at the end of the book full of pictures. 

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a marvellous book depicting the lives of all those wonderful people who served on the Canberra during the Falklands war. Im sure like me you won't be able to put this book down.
