Channel Four: Falklands War by Denys Blakeway
The author has had access to Channel 4's account of the conflict from leading participants in both Britain and Argentina. The book is being published to tie-in with a four-part Channel 4 TV-series on the Falklands War, timed to appear on the 10th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. Among its many revelations are: the story behind the Argentine junta's decision to invade the Malvinas; the lack of co-ordination in the British Government which led to the loss of the Falklands; the debate inside the British military about the feasibility of recapturing the Falklands long after the task force had been despatched; the truth behind the sinking of the Belgrano; the chaos of the successful Argentine air attack on the British ships at Bluff Cove and Fitzroy.
