April 1982. The British task force sails for the South Atlantic. Among their number is 22-year-old Robert Lawrence , an officer in the elite regiment of Scots Guards. On the bleak hills of the Falkland Islands, they fight and win a series of bloody battles. For many of the soldiers it is a violent initiation into active combat, but for Robert, wounded hours before the Argentine surrender, the real battle begins when he returns home. Having been shot in the head by an Argentine sniper in the Battle of Mount Tumbledown, and left paralyzed on his left side, he must now learn to adjust to his new disability.
