Description:
(Subject: Post World War II - Falklands) When Argentinian forces invaded the Falklands in April 1982, the British government responded by despatching a task force to the Atlantic to regain the islands, and the resulting war saw modern weapon systems tested in combat for the first time. In the aftermath, official documents were released, but many were heavily censored, and others withheld altogether. Drawing from recently declassified and previously unpublished reports from the official inquiry, Dr Paul Brown details the true story behind the dramatic events that led to the loss of six British ships: HMS Antelope, Ardent, Coventry and Sheffield, RFA Sir Galahad and SS Atlantic Conveyor, as well as the sinking of the Argentinian cruiser ARA General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror. (Published: 2021) (Publisher: Osprey Publishing) (ISBN: 9781472846433) (Pagination: 320pp, 9 maps, 30 b/w photos) (Condition: new in d/w) UL-XXXXXX

Description:
(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) Good in creased card covers. Pen marks on first two pages. In 1941 Britain stood alone against the unstoppable Nazi war machine. British and Polish codebreakers at Bletchley Park had broken the German Enigma cipher, but their staff and resources were small. In October 1941, leading codebreakers, including the outstanding Alan Turing, wrote to Winston Churchill asking for help. He ordered that they be given all they needed, adding the instruction: 'Action This Day'. It was to be a key turning point in the war. Their brilliant work is believed to have shortened it by up to two years. The authors, leading authorities on the work of Bletchley Park, have assembled a number of key writers to explain its importance in the history of codebreaking and the birth of today's computer age.
