Summary: The best account to date of a tragic conflict
Review: This is without a doubt one of the best books ever written about this tragic war. The book while a little dry at times none-the-less is a detailed analysis of the precursors to the war, the battle timelines and the final victory as the British recapture the Falklands. The book points out the failed Argentine tactics of sending young inexperienced conscripts to defend the Falklands against a well armed and highly professional military force. Also, don't miss the fact that while the Argentine Navy was one of the strongest voices for the invasion of the Falklands, once the Argentine Heavy Cruiser, the General Belgrano was sunk, the Argentine Navy returned to port and left the real fighting to the Army and Air Force.Few books, regardless of the balanced writing, even this one, has ever made the point that when the British liberated the Falklands they also set into motion the forces that liberated Argentina and allowed it to return its rightful place among the world's democracies.
