Financial Times journalist Jimmy Burns was posted to Argentina three months before the invasion of the Falkland Islands, remaining there throughout the war and the country's subsequent transition to democracy. This updated and revised edition of his celebrated history analyses the conflict, largely from the Argentinian perspective, exposing the inadequacies of British diplomacy and intelligence, exploring the motives and nature of the military junta and charting the regime's collapse in the aftermath of the war.

Review:
Full of insights about the extraordinary story of Argentina under Galtieri and Alfonsin * Max Hastings * An excellent study of the crisis * Robert Harris, Observer * Exceptionally well written and well presented * Sunday Times * A beautifully written and well-researched book, competently annotated and documented, which is special on several counts. His is a first-hand and authoratative account of the Falklands war as seen from Buenos Aires. Burns brings to bear his unique experience of a mixed British and Spanish upbringing in his quest for an answer to Argentina's incomprehensible descent into violent political chaos and moral as well as economic bankruptcy * Sunday Telegraph *
