About this book
This book explores the Falklands War from an Argentinian perspective, taking into consideration three aspects. First, it introduces classified documents after the end of the thirty-year ban. Second, it highlights various conceptual, institutional, and doctrinal reforms in the Argentinian and other South American armed forces as a result of lessons learned from the Malvinas War. Third, it reflects on the war's long-term implications on Argentina’s foreign policy and society. The book offers the first comprehensive, multi-level analysis, and Argentinian scholarship on the conflict. It is based on original primary data, mainly official documentation and interviews with military officers and combatants.
Reviews
-Fabián Bosoer, political scientist, editor-chef/journalist of Clarín, Autor of Malvinas, Capítulo Final: Guerra y diplomacia en la Argentina (1940-1982)
‘While the Falklands War infused concepts of British identity in the 1980s and beyond, this volume adds not only depth but breadth to Argentine planning and decision. This is a welcome, and much needed, volume that adds rich depth to understanding critical aspects of the war itself and the legacy it has had upon Anglo-Argentine relations since 1982.’
-Dr. Martin Robson, University of Exeter
‘This book presents a multifaceted and multidisciplinary vision of the Malvinas War from historical, sociological, international relations, and political science lenses. An important contribution to the knowledge and understanding of this important historical event and its consequences.’
-Professor José Manuel Ugarte, University of Buenos Aires
