3.0 out of 5 stars
Somewhat cursory, focused on British side,
By Craig MACKINNON (Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fight for the Falklands (Paperback)
What this book does, it does reasonably well. What it doesn't do lowers it to 3 stars. There is very little background information, virtually no information about the Argentine forces (save what they do in response to the British forces), and little on the root causes of steps that led Argentina to sieze the islands.What it reads like is more of a blw-by-blow account (from a British point of view) of the battle to expel the Argentine forces from the islands. It is easy to read, and the limited geographical scope of the war allowed the reader to follow the steps with a limited number of maps. A little more analysis would also have been nice - a comparison between the hardware of the 2 sides, the tactics, and maybe some comments about the state of mind of the islanders would have helped flesh out the narrative. |
