The definitive account of the Falklands War – a modern classic of war reportage from esteemed military historian Max Hastings and political editor Simon Jenkins.
'Excellent' – Financial Times
'Stirring, impressively detailed' – Time magazine
In 1982, 28,000 soldiers were sent 8,000 miles from home to fight a ten-week war over a tiny relic of empire – the Falkland Islands. At the time, many Britons saw it as a tragic absurdity, but the British victory over the Argentinians not only confirmed the quality of British arms but also boosted the political fortunes of Thatcher's Conservative government. However, it left a chequered aftermath and was later overshadowed by the two Gulf wars.
The Battle for the Falklands is a thoughtful and informed analysis of this astonishing chapter in modern British history. Hastings and Jenkins provide a comprehensive account of the conflict, from the political wrangling to the military strategy, offering unique insights into this defining moment of the 20th century. This is the definitive book on the Falklands War.
