In 1982, Argentine forces took possession of the Falkland Islands, long disputed between Argentina and Britain. The British government responded by immediately sending in a strike force to take back the islands by military means if necessary. What followed was the Falklands War, which lasted ten weeks. This volume offers a comprehensive description of the course of this conflict. Numerous eyewitnesses from both sides as well as islanders have their say. The visual material contrasts the historical photographs with photos of the same locations today and also shows the legacies of this war. A list lists all the casualties of this war and all the graves of the fallen British soldiers have been photographed.
