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. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
