The 1982 Falklands War was not only one of the most
extraordinary military confrontations of recent years but also a
turning point in the politics of Britain and Argentina. This
unusual book makes it possible for us to follow the development of
the war from both sides, as two leading experts from the
belligerents present an integrated, authoritative, and engrossing
account of its origins and course. The work unravels the complex
series of events leading to the occupation of the Falkland Islands
on April 2, 1982 by Argentine forces and then follows the conflict
through to their surrender to the British on June 14. The authors
weave together the development of the military confrontation with
the attempts by Americans, Peruvians, and the United Nations to
help find solutions.
