  Fight for Falklands Freedom (eBook, ePUB)

  The world was told about the Falkland Islands invasion by radio, the shocking news sweeping across the globe. Communications obstacles prompted the journalist and military historian, Sir Max Hastings, reporting from the Falklands front-line, to call it "the Radio Man's War". Harold Briley was BBC Latin America Correspondent (1979-1983) in Buenos Aires, breaking the story on the BBC World Service and bringing the Falklands saga to life. Previously the Falkland Islands were virtually unknown, but after Argentina invaded, and Britain sent a Task Force 8,000 miles to liberate the Islanders, they made the front pages overnight. Harold Briley recounts the tumultuous events of the time from his unique standpoint, drawing upon his own and other eye-witness reports, revealing what happened, when it happened and why. This gripping book both recounts events and explains the attitudes before and since the conflict, and the activities of the Argentine dictatorship intent on getting sovereignty.
