Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author to the reader: "God had the will that this book comes into the hands of readers, not from any known reporter, author or even literature lover. There has been no attempt here to seek literary prowess or to resort, even, to the most modest of literary flourishes..."This is how the presentation of my first English edition started. (The History of the South Atlantic Conflict: The War for the Malvinas, 1985). My research about the conflict did not finish then, but has continued until today, 2021, from a long wait and enquiring work about essential questions of this armed conflict, despite being kept in secret until not long ago, covered by the United Kingdom military secret acts for more than three decades. It can almost be said that the quest for the truth, made me almost a historian of this unfinished war.

Book excerpt: This research uses the South Atlantic conflict as a case study of land forces and an analysis of the issues of cohesion, bonding, and combat effectiveness. Based on a review of the literature and pertinent research on cohesion and combat effectiveness, the author derived a short scale that measures cohesion variables affecting combat effectiveness. This 24-item scale consists of four major categories: Societal Factors, Organizational Bonding, Vertical Bonding, and Horizontal (Peer) Bonding. Based on extensive fieldwork interviews with enlisted personnel and officers of the British forces and the Argentine Army, the author uses the model as a framework for analyzing this conflict in relation to combat effectiveness. The author found that cohesive units had more success on the battlefield and endured deprivations of climate and supply better than noncohesive units. Cohesion affects all aspects of combat effectiveness and is indeed a "force-multiplier." Implications of the 1982 South Atlantic Conflict for U. S. manpower planners are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the television footage shown in all its stark reality and the daily coverage and subsequent memoirs, the impression delivered from the air battles in the Falklands Conflict was that of heroic Argentine pilots who relentlessly pressed home their attacks against the British. While, by contrast, there is a counter-narrative that portrayed the Sea Harrier force as being utterly dominant over its Argentine enemies. But what was the reality of the air war over the Falkland Islands? While books on the air operations have published since that time, they have, in the main, been personal accounts, re-told by those who were there, fighting at a tactical level, or back in their nation's capital running the strategic implications of the outcome. But a detailed analysis of the operational level of the air war has not been undertaken - until now. At the same time, some analysts have inferred that this Cold War sideshow offers little insight into lessons for the operating environment of future conflicts. As the author demonstrates in this book, there are lessons from 1982 that do have important and continued relevance today. Using recently released primary source material, the author, a serving RAF officer who spent two-and-a-half years in the Falklands as an air defence navigator, has taken an impartial look at the air campaign at the operational level. This has enabled him to develop a considered view of what should have occurred, comparing it with what actually happened. In so doing, John Shields has produced a comprehensive account of the air campaign that has demolished many of the enduring myths. This is the story of not why, but how the air war was fought over the skies of the South Atlantic.
Download or read book Beyond Endurance written by Nicholas Barker and published by Pen & Sword. This book was released on 1997 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Endurance is a fascinating story of survival in the face of insurmountable odds, battling against an inhospitable climate and chronicling government incompetence and mismanagement. Captain Nicholas (Nick) Barker, who commanded HMS Endurance before, during and after the Falklands conflict, warned the government that the proposed scrapping of this war hardy ship would encourage Argentina to take belligerent action against the Falkland Islands. His subsequent warnings of unrest in the South Atlantic were ignored by Whitehall and as a consequence war erupted. HMS Endurance was involved in heavy military action - destroying two aircraft, damaging a frigate, assisting in the capture of South Georgia and Southern Thule, and the destruction of the Argentine submarine Santa Fe. For these actions, the ship's company (as Nick likes to put it) was awarded the CBE. This absorbing human tale, which spans the century, enables the author to speak freely regarding this very British affair, which reflects Whitehall's characteristics, at that time, of arrogance, secrecy and refusal to admit mistakes.

Download or read book The Falklands War written by Daniel K. Gibran and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Falklands War is an ideal showcase for how British policy evolved in the 1970s and 1980s. The background of the dispute over the island group in the remote South Atlantic (called Las Malvinas by the Argentines) is given first, then the events that precipitated the 1982 conflict and extensive examination of the military aspects of the war are provided. An overview follows of the many hypotheses offered for the British motivation to recapture the Falklands, showing that only those theories pertaining to the British perception of their national honor and the defense of democratic principles are significant. The Falklands War did not result in a dramatic shift in British defense policy, but did show the importance of external developments and political realism in policy formation, and these considerations are fully detailed here.
Download or read book Coping with the Unexpected written by Christopher J. Bowie and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldiers, sailors, and airmen must always think, plan, and practice for the unknown. No matter how realistic the conduct of exercises and training, it is impossible to simulate combat. Wars invariably expose deficiencies in peacetime planning. Before World War I, most soldiers planned and practiced for a war of maneuver and the offensive, yet the Western Front rapidly evolved into a static battle of attrition. Prior to 1914, admirals planned and trained to fight massive and decisive fleet actions on the model of Trafalgar and Tsushima; four years of conflict witnessed only one such action--the Battle of Jutland-- and it did not prove decisive. New weapons systems--aircraft, warships, and fighting vehicles--continually enter inventories. Escalating costs have led to the extensive modification of weapons systems to maintain fighting effectiveness. Sometimes peacetime 'fixes' can be found in innovative tactics and operational concepts. Actual combat compresses the adaptive process. Britain's experience during the South Atlantic War perhaps illustrates this process at its most extreme. Literally overnight, Britain was faced with a war for which it had no plans. Failures in the British intelligence community had led to a total lack of strategic warning. Britain's military forces were mainly configured to fight in Europe in conjunction with powerful allies.
