In April 1982, Argentina surprised the earth by invading the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The tiny islands had long been the main topic of a fierce territorial dispute between Argentina and the united kingdom, and the occupation quickly escalated into a terrifying full-blown conflict between the two countries. Overcoming the difficulties of conducting a war at the most enormous distance from your home and during the Antarctic winter, British troops successfully landed on the Falklands; the Argentine response resulted in growing casualties on both sides. At sea, losses included HMS Sheffield and Coventry and the Argentinian cruiser General Belgrano. Facing extreme conditions, British troops fought their way across demanding territory to retake the Falkland Islands. This is an archive of the defeat of the Argentines in some engagements the names which have grown to be legendary - Goose Green, Two Sisters, Mount Tumbledown - and ends with the liberation of Port Stanley itself. Drawing after the vast resources of the Imperial War Museum's Sound Archive, Forgotten Voices of the Falklands presents the first complete oral history of the Falklands War. This audiobook is a distinctive and essential chronicle of the conflict from all sides and perspectives, told in the participants' own voices.
