Official History of the Falklands Campaign, Volume 2
War and Diplomacy
«
'In Lawrence Freedman, the campaign has found an impeccable official chronicler. There will be plenty of quibbling about details and nuances, and dismay among some readers about his forebearance on personalities, but he establishes a record which is likely to stand.'
Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph
'Freedman is not just a good historian but a terse, readable writer. This is a fine book about modern war, warts and all, in an age when such evenly balanced conflicts are rare.'
Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times
'Drawing on an impressive range of government archives, as well as on interviews with key participants, this is official history at its best.'
Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK
'These two volumes are a formidable achievement and, not least because of access to the official files, provide a major resource for scholars and others concerned with public policy.'
Jeremy Black, University of Exeter, UK
'Freedman deserves high praise. It would be good to see a comparable account of the recent war but I doubt it.'
