The real story of the Falklands War in the words of those who were there.
Experience the latest in the landmark Forgotten Voices series, giving a unique perspective on a pivotal but often overlooked conflict - the Falklands War. 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.
In April 1982, Argentina surprised the world by invading the Falkland Islands. The occupation quickly escalated into a terrifying, full-blown conflict, claiming the lives of over 900 men. Yet the impact of the war has often been forgotten, leaving it overlooked as an anachronistic colonial conflict easily concluded by British forces. Forgotten Voices of the Falklands reveals that in reality it was extremely different.
Drawing on an unprecedented array of first-person accounts from the Imperial War Museum’s extensive oral archive, Hugh McManners (himself a Falklands veteran and one of the voices in the book) reveals how civil servants failed to resolve a dispute that should never have degenerated into violence, and how the ineptitudes of some politicians and commanders came within a whisker of turning a national triumph into a terrible tragedy.
The audio book is available on CD or cassette in three parts or as a 9 CD boxset.
In 1990 the Argentine congress declared the Falkland Islands to be part of the province of:
Tierra del Fuego
Santiago del Estero
Río Negro
Good Luck!
