Book ID/图书代码: 01930016B88593
English Summary/英文概要: The crew of the Norlandferry were having a wonderful time in 1982, especially the ‘girls’ in the catering crew: Wendy, Frankie and Candy, all stewards and all gay men.However, after the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands, the Norlandwas requisitioned to transfer paratroopers to Ascension Island for the start of the war.
• As the first ship to make landing, the untrained catering crew were thrown into unprecedented danger. However, not only did the men survive, they also overcame initial homophobia to earn the respect of the paratroopers on board, who came to view them as true heroes of the war.
• From drag nights with the soldiers in the middle of the Atlantic to tending to traumatized Argentine POWs, FitzGerald, with the testimony of the crew and paras themselves, relates this incredible story for the first time.
• There has been a strong commercial precedent for stories from the Falklands War, and this unique and extraordinary retelling of events promises to attract a great deal of media coverage and public interest.
