The controversial memoir of a top British spy which finally reveals
what really went on behind the scenes of the Falklands War For five
years before the Falklands War, Hugh Bicheno was one of the top
British spies in Argentina. As such, he gathered hard, corroborated
intelligence on Argentine intentions over the Falklands - which the
British establishment then chose to ignore. The reasons behind this
British decision, and its disastrous and inevitable consequences in
the South Atlantic, are the main story of this book. There were
three main players in the war, each of them trying to overcome
their own cultural baggage. The Argentines were riddled with guilt:
after years of fighting a morally repugnant campaign against its
own people, the Argentine military saw a war for the Malvinas
islands as a perfect opportunity to win back their self-respect.
The hands of the Americans were also bloody from the likewise dirty
wars they had sponsored and abetted in Central America. For Britain
it was simply the last straw after decades of humiliation.
