Description
The Falklands Naval Campaign 1982: A Comprehensive Account The Falklands Conflict was a hard-fought, bloody, and short conflict between a leading NATO power and one of the most capable armed forces in South America. In April 1982, Argentine armed forces invaded and captured the Falkland Islands, a British dependency in the South Atlantic. This comprehensive study examines the Naval campaign that saw Britain eventually retake the islands. Renowned naval historian Dr Edward Hampshire draws upon the latest available sources to offer a detailed examination of the Falklands naval campaign. The book presents blow-by-blow accounts of key engagements, such as the sinking of the General Belgrano and the loss of HMS Sheffield, alongside lesser-known but equally important naval operations that helped shape the outcome of the conflict.
