At the time, many Britons saw it as a tragic absurdity - thousands of men sent overseas for a tiny relic of empire - but the British victory over the Argentinians not only confirmed the quality of British arms but also boosted the political fortunes of Thatcher's Conservative government. However, it left a chequered aftermath and was later overshadowed by the two Gulf wars.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMax Hastings’ and Simon Jenkins’ account of the conflict is a modern classic of war reportage and the definitive book on the conflict.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798796095646,"sku":"TLD-9781529047806","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529047806.jpg?v=1778119215","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529047806","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
