Both sides are still wanting the islands...Blake, <br /><br />Both sides are still wanting the islands and that is why to this day the UK is sabotaging any Argentine attempts to update their air force through political and economical means. <br /><br />There are several books on the Argentine perspective in English:<br /><br />'Argentine Fight for the Falklands' by Martin Middlebrook (I have read and it is good, his book on the British side of the conflict, 'The Falklands War' is equally good.)<br /><br />'The Malvinas War from the Argentinian Viewpoint ' by Lt. Col Ricardo Albert Puche (I have it but have not read it yet - it is slated to be read this year)<br /><br />'Wings of the Malvinas: The Argentine Air War over the Falklands' by Santiago Rivas (same as above)<br /><br />'Chicos de la Guerra' by Daniel Kon (Don't let the Spanish name throw you off, it is available in English. I have a copy and plan to read it this year)<br /><br /><br />'The Land That Lost Its Heroes: How Argentina Lost the Falklands War' by Jimmy Burns (same again as above)<br /><br />But, most importantly, if you want to read a good book on the Falklands conflict, read 'Razor's Edge' by Hugh Bicheno. While some of the things have been proven incorrect over the years when more access to information came out, this is probably the only book that really gives a great detail account of the all of the problems faces by both sides, and the author does not hold back on putting the blame on key people, even while praising them for things that they did right. His descriptions of the battles is most invaluable to wargamer too and are probably the best out there.<br /><br />Sappersapperjoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851863340366393341noreply@blogger.com
