Synopsis

April 2nd 1982: The Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands shook the world.

Naval Party 8901, the defenders of the Falklands, found themselves the unwilling stars

of the tabloid front pages, who announced such headlines as SHAMED and SURRENDER

above images of them laying face down in the road or marching out under armed guard.

The story of an ignominious defeat and but a 'token defence' took hold in the public mind:

The British Government did little - in fact nothing - to change that image, though they knew the truth.

Thirty-five years later, the ground-breaking book The First Casualty changed everything we knew

or thought we knew, about the Falklands invasion and the men who resisted an armada against all odds.

Now, on the 40th Anniversary of the Falklands War, Military Historian Ricky D. Phillips

returns to the story which shook the pillars of Falklands War history, in a ground-breaking new book

teeming with new accounts, new evidence, new maps and the photographs which prove that the story of the

battle first told in 2017 - of the Battle of Stanley - a battle denied for political convenience, really happened.

A companion book to The First Casualty and a stand-alone history in itself, this new volume is set to

delight the fans of Falklands War history and of Naval Party 8901 as we delve back into a history which

is anything but settled, and a story of heroism and intrigue which has forever changed the history of

The Falklands War.
