In March 1982, Argentina surprised the world by invading the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The tiny islands had long been the subject of a fierce territorial dispute between Argentina and the UK, and the occupation quickly escalated into a full-blown conflict between the two countries.
Often referred to as a forgotten war, the Falklands conflict was, in actual fact, the first war of the modern age, using satellite surveillance, night observation devices, and all the very latest weaponry military technology had to offer.
Drawing upon the vast resources of the Imperial War Museum’s Sound Archive, Forgotten Voices of the Falklands presents the first complete oral history of the Falklands War. From the initial invasion of the islands to the British landings to the Argentinean surrender and its aftermath, the book presents a chronicle of the conflict from many different perspectives, told in the participants’ own voices.
The interviews were brought together by author Hugh McManners, who himself fought in the Falklands War.
