'I Counted Them All Out and I Counted Them All Back' [antikvár]

FOREWORD 'I counted them all out and I counted them all back.' Brian Hanrahan found a memorable phrase to assure anxious listeners of the safe return of the Harriers to HMS Hermes after their first attack on the landing strip of Port Stanley. They were words that echoed around the world, widely quoted as a statement of plain truth. Truth is the only counter to propaganda. The broadcasts by the two BBC special correspondents with the Task Force, Brian Hanrahan and Robert Fox, will remain in people's memories of the Falklands campaign of 2 April - 15 June 1982. Many viewers and listeners have sought a more permanent record of their reports. This book is that record. Alan Protheroe Assistant Director General BBC
