Brief History of the Falklands War, A

di K. J. Smith (Autore)

Ashleigh Robertson, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The Falklands War was a short but dramatic conflict that pitted a fading empire against a crumbling dictatorship over a handful of windswept islands in the South Atlantic. In just 74 days, Britain and Argentina fought fierce naval battles, daring air raids, and desperate infantry clashes that left nearly a thousand dead. More than a colonial skirmish, it was a test of political will—reviving Margaret Thatcher’s leadership, toppling Argentina’s junta, and reshaping modern military strategy. In A Brief History of the Falklands War, the story of this improbable war is told with clarity and balance. From the shock of Argentina’s invasion to the long voyage of Britain’s task force, from the sinking of the Belgrano to the final assault on Port Stanley, this book captures both the battlefield drama and the human stories of soldiers and islanders caught in the middle. Essential for readers of modern military history, geopolitics, or leadership under crisis, it is the definitive guide to the last colonial war of the modern age.
