À propos de cet audio

The Falklands War was one of the strangest in British history - 28,000 men sent to fight for a tiny relic of empire 8,000 miles from home.

At the time, many Britons saw it as a tragic absurdity, but the British victory confirmed the quality of British arms and boosted the political fortunes of the Conservative government. But it left a chequered aftermath; it was of no wider significance for British interests and taught no lessons. It has since been overshadowed by the two Gulf Wars, however, its political ramifications cannot be overestimated. Max Hastings’ and Simon Jenkins’ account of the conflict is a modern classic of war reportage and the definitive book on the war. Republished as part of the Pan Military Classics series, The Battle for the Falklands is a vivid chronicle of a call to arms and a thoughtful and informed analysis of an astonishing chapter in the history of our times. Max Hastings, author of over 20 books, has been editor of the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard. He has won many awards for his journalism, particularly his work in the south Atlantic in 1982.

Interested in the Falklands conflict? Then this is is a must buy. The structure is near perfection and the performance matches the material. Found myself sitting in my car long after arriving at my destination unable to turn it off.

Superb

classic British war story with the anecdotes and attitude you'd expect. good land of historic and anecdotal details but not too long and boring either with different perspectives explored. didn't feel dated as I expected.

A job well done

Excellent book blending political and military aspects of the war from the British perspective primarily. Cameron Stewart did an excellent job narrating, and I will be looking for other books read by him.

Excellent book, well read

This book takes you through the entire Falklands story from the discovery of the islands centuries ago, to the tensions in the late 70s that led to war, to the actual war. It's all there. The book is written extremely factually. Don't expect to get emotive accounts of battles from a soldier's perspective. There's some of that but mostly it's a dry, factual account of what exactly happened. Highly recommended.

Does an excellent job of covering causes, effects, consequences . Analysis is even-handed, without obvious bias and well presented. Reader's voice cadence is excellent.

Very well written
