Argentine Forces in the Falklands

Contrary to opinion expressed at the time, Argentine troops deployed to the Falklands, and which engaged the British troops sent to recapture the islands, were not 16-year-old conscripts but well-trained troops. This book looks at the arms, equipment and organization of the Argentine troops.

This fascinating book examines the history, organization and equipment of the Argentine forces that battled for control of this remote British outpost.

The announcement of the imminent withdrawal of the British Royal Navy's ice patrol ship HMS Endurance in early 1982 prompted the Argentinian Junta in Buenos Aires to plan a military grab of the Falklands—a siege they assumed would succeed with little resistance.

Such an adventure was attractive as a distraction for the Argentine public at a time of political unease. In April, the Junta, led by Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri, made its move.

This fascinating book examines the history, organisation, and equipment of the Argentine forces that battled for control of this remote British outpost.

Argentine Forces in the Falklands by Nick van der Bijl provides a detailed exploration into the strategies and challenges faced during this significant conflict.
