The conflict began on 2 April 1982, when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands, followed by the invasion of South Georgia the next day. On 5 April, the British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force before making an amphibious assault on the islands. The conflict lasted 74 days and ended with an Argentine surrender on 14 June, returning the islands to British control. In total, 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three Falkland Islanders were killed during the hostilities. The conflict was a major episode in the protracted dispute over the territories' sovereignty. Argentina asserted (and maintains) that the islands are Argentine territory, and the Argentine government thus described its military action as the reclamation of its own territory. The British government regarded the action as an invasion of a territory that had been a Crown colony since 1841. Falkland Islanders, who have inhabited the islands since the early 19th century, are predominantly descendants of British settlers, and strongly favour British sovereignty. Neither state officially declared war, although both governments declared the islands a war zone.' (Wiki) ***A collection of four first UK editions, all in nice collectable condition. Of interest to anyone who wishes to read some first-hand accounts, or those researching the Falkland's Conflict. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. First edition. Softcover. Winner of the £15,000 Plays on Stage Award run by London Weekend Television (1988). 'This pageant of Victorian vice tells the story of Mary Kelly, Jack the Ripper's last victim, murdered in the East End of London just over a century ago. It is not a detective story; there is no attempt to trace the identity of the Ripper; the focus, rather, is on the social and sexual conditions from which he emanated, as surely as cholera from bad drains.nursery rhymes played during an orgy create for once a genuinely chilling effect.'(Review by 'The Times' critic). Loosely inserted is a two page, signed, autograph letter (dated August 30, 1994) from Rodney Archer, one of the authors,(who was living in Spitalfields at the time), discussing the play and venues where it had been performed. With 2 Illus. 59pp. trade size softcover. A fine copy of a very interesting and now extremely rare 'Ripper' item. signed by author. …
