The Falklands War – in the troops’ own words

The Falklands War was the first British war of the modern age. Not only were troops using the very latest military technology, the media use of television meant that public perception was dramatically affected by what they saw on their screens and read in their newspapers. Objective analysis on both sides took a back seat to the politics of expediency and crude appeals to nationalism.

Forgotten Voices of the Falklands, however, allows us to redress the balance and gain a clearer view of what happened in this pivotal war. Based on the Imperial War Museum’s unequalled sound archive resources and previously unpublished material, Hugh McManners presents the first complete oral history of the Falklands War.

From the initial invasion of the islands to the British landings and the Argentinean surrender and its aftermath, this book is a unique and essential chronicle of the conflict from all sides and perspectives, told in the participants’ own voices.
