The Falklands Conflict was remarkable for many reasons: it was a hard fought, bloody and short conflict between a leading NATO power and one of the most capable armed forces in South America; it demonstrated the capabilities of a range of cutting-edge technologies including nuclear-powered attack submarines, Exocet missiles and Sea Harrier VSTOL aircraft; and it was fought many thousands of miles away from the Royal Navy's home bases. In this illustrated study, renowned naval historian Dr Edward Hampshire draws upon the latest available sources to offer a comprehensive examination of the Falklands naval campaign. Blow-by-blow accounts of key engagements, such as the sinking of the General Belgrano, the loss of HMS Sheffield, and the landings at San Carlos Bay, are presented alongside lesser known but equally important naval operations that helped shape the outcome of the conflict.

  1. Concise account of the Falklands naval war
    Provides a concise and well-illustrated account of the 1982 Falklands naval war, but is let down by the errors, both factual and typographical, that occur in various places in the book, making it less than reliable.

  2. A good primer on the Falklands War ****
    With the 40th anniversary of the Falklands war coming up in 2022 this is a timely book, providing a good primer or refresher on the naval aspects of the conflict. There may not be much new here but the main naval episodes are covered and the book is well illustrated. It would have been good to have had mention of the formidable logistics task of keeping the task force suplied and maintained so far from the naval bases.
