1) Hardcover Book The Official History of the Falklands, Vol 1: The Origins of the Falklands Conflict (Cabinet Office Series of Official Histories) by Routledge. Drawing of a vast range of government archives previously classified as well as interviews with key participants, the first volume of the official history of the Falklands Campaign provides the most authoritative account of the origins of the 1982 war. In the first chapters the author analyzes the long history of the dispute between the difficulties faced by successive governments in finding a way to reconcile the opposed interests of the Argentines and the islanders and the constant struggle to keep the Islands viable. He subsequently gives a complete account of how what began as an apparently trivial incident over an illegal landing by scrap-metal merchant s on the island of South Georgia turned into a major crisis. Thanks to his access to classified material, Sir Lawrence Freedman has been able to produce a detailed and authoritative analysis which extends the coverage given by the Franks Committee Report of 1983. This volume is ultimately an extremely readable account of these events, charting the growingrealization within the British government of the seriousness of the situation, culminating in the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands at the start of April 1982.¤
