Iron Britannia

Résumé du livre

On 2 April 1982, Argentine forces seized the British-dependent Falkland Islands. Within 48 hours a British task force sailed for the South Atlantic. One in five Britons opposed this war; but Argentina's surrender 74 days later assured Margaret Thatcher's re-election. This 2012 edition offers a new preface by Anthony Barnett, dissecting post-Falklands UK foreign policy and is appended with three related short pieces by the author.
