The announcement of the imminent withdrawal of the British Royal Navy's ice patrol ship HMS Endurance in early 1982 prompted the Argentinian Junta in Buenos Aires to plan a military grab of the Falklands -- a siege they assumed would succeed with little resistance. Such an adventure was attractive as a distraction for the Argentine public at a time of political unease. In April; the Junta; led by Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri; made its move. This fascinating book examines the history; organization and equipment of the Argentine forces that battled for control of this remote British outpost during the Falklands War (1982).
