The Battle for the Falklands
Description
An authoritative account of the 1982 Falklands War, this book follows the ten-week British campaign fought thousands of miles from home, from the opening crisis and perilous naval and air operations to the hard-fought advance on Stanley. Drawing on extensive reporting and firsthand perspectives, it examines the strategy, logistics, leadership, and battlefield experiences of British and Argentine forces, including the decisive battles for the heights surrounding the capital. Alongside the drama of combat, it explores the human cost of the conflict and the sharply contrasting conditions faced by troops on both sides. Detailed appendices on lost aircraft and the naval and air forces provide valuable context for this compelling study of a remote war with lasting political and military significance.
