Product Description

Synopsis

In April 1982 Britain went to war with Argentina following the Argentine occupation of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. This work starts with the transcripts of old Government papers showing why Britain believes it has sovreignty of these remote islands since their discovery by the Elizabethan sailor John Davies and their mapping by Charles Darwin. It then includes the text of the Franks report which describes how the war came about and why the foreign secretary resigned. The book includes several House of Commons debates and speeches by the Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher, and the oficial account of the battle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing insight into political background to conflict, 19 Mar 2001
By A Customer
The book begins with the Official History of the Falklands, giving an overview up to 1904. It then effectively jumps to 1965, from which time the Franks report begins a detailed analysis of the diplomatic, political and intelligence occurrences until the Argentinean invasion in 1982. This is the most interesting section of the book, covering as it does the background to the conflict in much more detail than other sources.

The official report into the Falklands Campaign follows - this is of less interest as it is a very brief overview of the major actions of the conflict, going into very little detail.

The book finished with extracts from major debates during the conflict - following the invasion, the sinking of the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano, and the Argentine surrender.
