The U.S. shares blame for the Falklands War,
Von Ricardo Martinez (United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Battle for the Falklands (Taschenbuch)
The reader Stewart Stakes is completely one-sided in his review of the book. I was born and lived in Argentina up to the Falklands war; the military waged the war on the rationale that they were the champions of anti-communism and could get away with everything they did. The lack of continuity in American, foreign policies between the Carter and the Reagan administrations greatly encouraged the Argentine, genocial Junta to wage the war. The above reader displays the typical ethnocentric, isolationist American mentality, which does not allow to properly regard other people's points of view. I live in the States, I am not anti-American, but I can at least partially agree with the author of the book in what the Falklands War is concerned ( the Korean war is an entirely different matter ). Before and after President Carter, the U.S. showed no practical concern for the genocide that was going on in Argentina. I saw the Falklands War as a battle between democracy ( England ) and Nazi-facism ( Argentina ), but the U.S. was only concerned in defeating communism, even using the fascist, Latin American military as an instrument for the same goal. Why did not President Reagan continued the human rights campaign against Argentina that President Carter had started? Because of Mr. Reagan's sympathies for the anti-communist stand of the Argentine military. Yes, the U.S. ought to acknowledge its share of guilt in the Falklands War, so that anti-americanism in Argentina would not be a fact that encourages fascism there.

It has much info,
Von n.levalle (Argentina) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Battle for the Falklands (Taschenbuch)
A good book indeed. However I believe the authors are wrong when they say the Argentine conscripts were not trained for the job. Being Argentine, I have been privileged to see many in the documentaries about the war. One has to read (British Major) Mark Adkin's Goose Green: A battle is fought to be won to realize the British troops took on tough and competent conscript units. Also I believe the authors have been misled like many British soldiers were when it came to the state of Argentine morale among the units dug in the hills outside Stanley. The fact is that the Argentine Commando patrols did move about aggressively in no man's land and denied the British patrols as much as they could,control of no man's land and the Argentine HQ did put up a fight in a bid to retain Mount Kent as Nick van der Bijl in his book Nine Battles to Stanley (pubished in 1999 by Leo Cooper) proves and he was there as a colonel of the Royal Marines. He proves it when he writes that a patrol of the 601 Commando Company attacked a 3 Para patrol capturing its equipment and that a 602 Commando Company patrol did the same on Mount Wall. Also I must point out that Bijl establishes that several Argentine infantry platoons carried out daring counterattacks in the battles for the hills outside Stanley, slowing down the advancing British platoons and leaving many in dissaray. Nevertheless this book is a must especially when it comes to the first hand accounts of the British soldiers.

Excellent book!!,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Battle for the Falklands (Taschenbuch)
This is a very detailed account of the Battle for the Falklands. I know people who were involved with this battle and had told me this book was very realistic to what really happened.
