INVASION 1982: THE FALKLAND ISLANDERS' STORY by Graham Bound The Falkland islanders were the first British people to come under enemy occupation since the Channel Islands during the Second World War. This book tells how their warnings were ignored in London, how their slim defences gave way to a massive invasion, and how they survived occupation. While some established a cautiously pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some islanders opted for active resistance and others joined advancing British troops, transporting ammunition and leading men to the battlefields.2007, Pen & Sword, , 978184415587,< H-05>,234pp, new in d/w, , Subject...Post World War II - FalklandsWeb No. 35929-01..............................£19.99 |
ABANDON SHIP by Paul Brown When Argentinian forces invaded the Falklands in April 1982, the British government responded by despatching a task force to the Atlantic to regain the islands, and the resulting war saw modern weapon systems tested in combat for the first time. In the aftermath, official documents were released, but many were heavily censored, and others withheld altogether. Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr Paul Brown details the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships: HMS Antelope, Ardent, Coventry and Sheffield, RFA Sir Galahad and SS Atlantic Conveyor, as well as the sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror.2021, Osprey Publishing, , 9781472846433,< H-05>,320pp, 9 maps, 30 b/w photos, new in d/w, , Subject...Post World War II - FalklandsWeb No. 38160-01..............................£20.00 |

THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE FALKLANDS CAMPAIGN: VOL. I by Sir Lawrence Freedman The origins of the April, 1982 war. The book describes the long dispute between Argentina and Britain over the sovereignty of the Islands, the difficulties faced by successive governments in finding a way to reconcile the opposed interests of the Argentines and the islanders, and the constant struggle to keep the Islands viable. In March 1982 what started as an apparently trivial incident over an illegal landing by scrap-metal merchants on the island of South Georgia turned into a major crisis. Drawing on official papers the author charts the growing realisation within the British government of the seriousness of the situation, culminating in the Argentine invasion.2005, Routledge, Keegan & Paul, , 0714652067,< H-05>,253pp, biblio, index, Fine in d/w, 0, Subject...Post World War II - FalklandsWeb No. 32977-01..............................£44.00 |
