Falkland Islanders were the first British people to come under
enemy occupation since the Channel Islanders during the Second
World War. This book tells how islanders' warnings were ignored in
London, how their slim defences gave way to a massive invasion, and
how they survived occupation. While some established a cautiously
pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some Islanders opted
for active resistance. Others joined advancing British troops,
transporting ammunition and leading men to the battlefields.
Islanders' leaders and 'trouble makers' faced internal exile, and
whole settlements were imprisoned, becoming virtual hostages. A new
chapter about Falklands history since 1982 reveals that while the
Falklands have benefited greatly from Britain's ongoing commitment
to them, a cold war continues in the south Atlantic. To the
annoyance of the Argentines, the islands have prospered, and may
now be poised on the brink of an oil bonanza.
