It’s 1982 and one of the most daring raids of the Falklands war is about to be sprung on the Argentine mainland; the aim is to destroy the last Exocet missile and kill the pilots that might launch it; but everyone knows it’s a one-way, suicide job…Operation Mikado was an actual raid that almost went ahead. ‘The Argentine Job’ is the fictional ‘what if’ that details a mission and potential escape by surviving British forces across forty miles of barren Patagonian winter wasteland at its worst, chased by an army out for their blood.

In the hard-fought winter of 1944, the Allies advanced northwards through Italy but stalled on the fearsome mountainous defences of the Gothic Line. Two men were parachuted in, in an effort to break the deadlock. Their mission: to penetrate deep into enemy territory and lay waste to the Germans' impregnable headquarters. At the 11th hour, mission commanders radioed for David 'The Mad Piper' Kilpatrick to be flown in, resplendent in his tartan kilt. They wanted this fearless war hero to lead the assault, piping 'Highland Laddie' as he went - so leaving an indelible British signature to deter Nazi reprisals.
