5.0 out of 5 stars Unbiased, fair coverage, 25 Oct 2005
As the author states, he was slated by both Britons and Argentines for not taking their side, which suggests what I found to be true on reading the book: that it is fair and unbiased. He has been fairly ruthless in revealing the bungling errors on both sides (with a little help from countries) that led inevitably to war, and he has done so in an extremely readable manner. He has clearly also had access to high-ranking politicians, as well as to the ordinary poor sods who actually had to suffer the consequences on the land. Recommended to anyone with an interest in Argentina.
