Description: Official History of the Falklands Campaign : The 1982 Falklands War and Its Aftermath, Hardcover by Freedman, Lawrence, ISBN 0714652075, ISBN-13 9780714652078, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The first volume of this history of the 1982 Falkland War between Argentina and the United Kingdom described the history of the dispute over the Falkland Islands and the beginnings of the crisis in the Argentine landing on the island of South Georgia. In this second volume, Freedman (war studies, King's College London, UK) picks up the narrative with the April invasion of the Falkland Islands by Argentina. As an official historian for the UK, he has been granted privileged access to British government documents and uses these documents to review the battles of the two and a half months of war and to describe the war's aftermath up to the restoration of diplomatic relations in 1990. His primary focus is to compare the assumptions and plans of British policy-makers and commanders with what later appeared to be actually the case. Economic and diplomatic matters, including British tensions with the United States, receive attention in addition to military matters. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
