Fight for Falklands freedom : reporting live from Argentina and the Islands / Harold Briley. - 255 pages : illustrations, photographs (black and white)
"Foreword by Sir John Tusa, former Director of BBC World service."
"When Argentine troops surged onto the shores of the Falklands Island, it was Harold Briley who broke the news to Britain and the rest of the world. As the BBC World Service's Latin America Correspondent, he was perfectly placed both metaphorically and physically; not only was he reporting from his base in Buenos Aires, but he had first-hand knowledge of the countries, their politics and their cultures. In 'Fight for Falklands Freedom: reporting live from Argentina and the Islands', Briley returns to the islands to tell the full story in a breathless play-by-play account. Drawing on hundreds of his own reports, as well as interviews with political and military leaders from both sides, this is a fascinating insight into what happened, when it happened - and why."--
