Summary

On April 2nd 1982, in an attempt to suppress civil unrest, Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands. Britain was quick to mobilise a task force and defend its territory, but the ensuing war, lasting over two months, would cost the British military 255 men. From the initial landing in Montevideo, to the events surrounding the sinking of HMS Ardent, Britain faced extreme adversity. However, despite the harsh realities of combat, the British task force maintained morale through humour, camaraderie and the close bonds they formed in the crucible of war. 'Lost Voices of the Falklands War' is the definitive oral history of the conflict, compiled by historian Max Arthur. Through a series of interviews, Arthur delivers a raw, unfiltered account of the violence and the emotional toll it took on the soldiers, sailors and airmen that fought.
