'Journalists are said to write the first rough drafts of history.
But I was only the messenger.' When Argentine troops surged onto
the shores of the Falkland Islands, it was Harold Briley who broke
the news to Britain and the rest of the world. As the BBC World
Service's Latin America Correspondent, he was perfectly placed both
metaphorically and physically: not only was he reporting from his
base in Buenos Aires, but he had first-hand knowledge of the
countries, their politics and their cultures. In Fight for
Falklands Freedom: Reporting Live from Argentina and the Islands,
Briley returns to the Islands to tell the full story in a
breathless play-by-play account. Drawing on hundreds of his own
reports, as well as interviews with political and military leaders
from both sides, this is a fascinating insight into what happened,
when it happened - and why.
