Drawing on extensive experience in the British Army, including service in the Falklands War, this author crafts compelling non-fiction narratives and produces television. His work delves into the psychological realities of combat, trauma, and the profound experiences of war veterans. A passionate advocate for authenticity, he insists that depictions of military life must be true to the individuals who serve. Now venturing into fiction, he aims to create military historical thrillers that offer both gripping action and a genuine reflection of the soldier's world.
Drawing upon the vast resources of the Imperial War Museum's sound archive, which contains thousands of interviews with both soldiers and civilians, both British and Argentinean, Forgotten Voices of the Falkands War redresses the balance, presenting a complete oral history of the Falklands War.
