With the surprise Argentine invasion of the remote Falkland Islands
on 2 April 1982, the United Kingdom found itself at war. Due to the
resolve of a determined Prime Minister and the resourcefulness of
the Armed Forces, a Task Force, codenamed Operation CORPORATE, was
quickly despatched. Remarkably, just over two months later, the
Islands were liberated and the invaders defeated. By any standards
this was an outstanding feat of arms, cooperation made possible by
political resolve, sound planning, strong leadership and the
courage and determination of the British forces.Martin Middlebrook,
the renowned military historian, has skilfully weaved the many
strands of this extraordinary achievement into a fascinating,
thorough and highly readable account. Thanks to his meticulous
research he covers action at sea, on the land and in the air as
well as providing the strategic overview. The author's use of many
first-hand accounts reveals what it was like to be part of this
audacious military endeavour. The experiences of the Falkland
Islanders during the Argentine occupation are also included. Thirty
years on, Middlebrook's The Falklands War is still an authoritative
and thoroughly readable account of this historic enterprise.
