It's a good book to get information about the Falklands Campaign, orders of battle, detailed equipment, forces involved and good pictures and plates. It is an excellent research.

The problem is that it is almost completely focused on British Forces and their point of view (event about statistics. I think you must have it if you are interested in the last modern war fought between two Western countries for an old "colonial" adjustment...

A superior book, written contemporaneously by folks who were there, on the ground and at sea. Good detail on the highly-interesting interpersonal relationships and conflicts. Also great discussion of the competing demands on the UK as an old colonial power and current mid-tier member of the world community. Not as much detail about the Argentine side, but a surprising amount nonetheless. It's a good and easy read, not nearly as tedious as most historical accounts.
