The Falklands War is a story of occupation, fierce air battles, heavy naval losses and bitter encounters between ground forces amidst an inhospitable terrain and unforgiving climate. With complex political machinations and nationalist sentiment at the centre of the conflict, even today the sovereignty of the islands is hotly contested in political circles.
For the first time, renowned military historian Gregory Fremont-Barnes has compiled a definitive A-Z guide to the British involvement in the Falklands conflict, including personalities, weapons, battles, ships, places and much more. This accessible yet comprehensive companion to the Falklands War will be a welcome addition to any enthusiast's shelves.

GREGORY FREMONT-BARNES has a PhD in Modern History from the University of Oxford and has worked as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of War Studies at Sandhurst for nine years. He has written extensively on a broad range of military history, including Battle Story: Goose Green 1982 and The Falklands 1982: Ground Operations in the South Atlantic.
