Description
The Unseen Falklands War by Nick Van Der Bijl In April 1982, the UK launched a major military operation to retake the Falkland Islands and South Georgia from Argentine occupation. This was one of the longest amphibious operations in modern history, spanning over 8,000 miles. The conflict saw fierce fighting on both sides, with the Argentinians largely concentrated in Port Stanley, Goose Green, and other key locations. The British ultimately liberated these areas, with the help of previously unpublished photographs that shed new light on the conflict. This book offers a unique perspective on the Falklands War, drawing on the author's own experiences as part of the British intelligence team during the conflict. The Unseen Falklands War provides a detailed and insightful look at this pivotal event in modern history, including the repatriation of prisoners and the islands' current state.
