In response to Argentinian forces' invasion of the Falklands in April 1982, the British government dispatched a task force to the Atlantic to reclaim control of the islands. The ensuing war witnessed the first-ever deployment of modern weapon systems in combat, resulting in devastating consequences. Despite the release of official documents, many were heavily censored or withheld entirely, impeding a comprehensive understanding of the events. Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr. Paul Brown unveils the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships, including HMS Antelope, Ardent, Coventry, and Sheffield, RFA Sir Galahad, and SS Atlantic Conveyor. Additionally, he delves into the controversial sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror, shedding light on the complex circumstances surrounding this pivotal moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 592g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 244 x 34 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472846433                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Paul Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44100330586362,"sku":"9781472846433","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7f2ede21b34c93c6ea9819ec0d134bab.jpg?v=1621102897","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/abandon-ship-the-real-story-of-the-sinkings-in-the-falklands-war","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
