28,000 British soldiers went to fight for a relic of the Empire in a God-forsaken corner of the world, 15,000 km from home. Some died, others remained crippled forever, and the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) remained part of Great Britain. This was the outcome of the short Anglo-Argentine war in April 1982. Nevertheless, this conflict was of crucial importance for the Cold War era. The clash of interests between Britain and Argentina was the visible side of the campaign, and behind the scenes the involvement of other countries was visible - the USA, France, the USSR, Latin American countries... Everyone had their own interests, and who knows what the struggle for several sparsely populated islands would have resulted in if the war would drag on. However, this did not happen, and the British victory was decisive and quick. Not a single book dedicated to this war has yet been published in our country, and the time has come to fill this gap. The book by Max Hastings and Simon Jenkins, direct participants in the Battle of the Falklands, is a kind of report on war and politics, straight from the scene. Written vividly and vividly, this classic book will undoubtedly be of interest to readers interested in the history of wars and conflicts of the second half of the twentieth century, as well as those who are just beginning their journey in the study of military history.
