He managed to avoid becoming involved in the sovereignty issue and concentrated entirely on the military story. He has produced a genuine 'first' with this well-balanced and unique work. Among the men he met were the captain of the ship who took the scrap-metal workers to South Georgia; the admiral in charge of planning the Falklands invasion; the marine commander and other members of the invasion force; two brigadier-generals, five unite commanders and many other men of the large army force sent to occupy and defend the islands; the commander of the naval force that put to sea to engage the approaching British task force; the captain and seven other survivors of the Belgrano; a submarine captain; the naval pilots who sank HMS Ardent and HMS Sheffield; the officer in command of the Argentine garrison at Goose Green; and finally, the brigadier-general responsible for the defence of Port Stanley, and soldiers of all ranks who fought the final battles that decided not only the outcome of the war but also the political future of the Falkland Islands and of a large area of the South Atlantic---' (Quote from inside front and back jacket blurb).***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 1822
