Description

In early 1982 the announcement of the imminent withdrawal of the Royal Navy's ice patrol ship HMS Endurance prompted the current military Junta in Buenos Aires to suppose that a military grab of the Falklands would be allowed to succeed without more than token resistance. Such an adventure was attractive as a distraction for the Argentine public at a time of political unease. On the night of 1/2 April 1982, the Junta led by Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri made its move. This fascinating text by Nicholas van der Bijl examines the Argentine forces that battled for control of this remote British outpost.
