The resulting war saw modern weapon systems tested in combat for the first time, to tragic effect. In the aftermath, official documents were released, but many were heavily censored, and others withheld altogether, so that a full understanding of those events could not be gained. Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr Paul Brown details the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships     HMS \u003ci\u003eAntelope\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArdent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCoventry\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSheffield\u003c\/i\u003e, RFA \u003ci\u003eSir Galahad\u003c\/i\u003e and SS \u003ci\u003eAtlantic Conveyor\u003c\/i\u003e     as well as the controversial sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA \u003ci\u003eGeneral Belgrano\u003c\/i\u003e by HMS \u003ci\u003eConqueror\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509034631326,"sku":"UBD-9781472846433","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472846433.jpg?v=1780640045","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472846433","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
