Fishing
for Falklands Sea Trout
Peter Lapsley |
|
Keen anglers, including the
Duke of Edinburgh, have enjoyed fishing the rivers of the Falkland
Islands and now the skills and attractions are shared in a new book, written by international expert,
Peter Lapsley. Though primarily a textbook on trout fishing
(covering such diverse topics as Falklands Fish, When and Where? The
Tools for the Job, Fishing Safely and Fishing Saltwater), it
incorporates a useful mini-guide book on the Falklands themselves -
its geography, climate, culture, maritime and military history,
transport, accommodation, and wildlife. The book also traces
the history of Falklands trout, first imported from Chile in 1940,
and describes the principal characteristics of the species as it has
developed. This book is essential reading for anyone preparing
to fish the Falklands rivers.

Brazil
and Beyond: Long Distance Voyaging with Annie Hill
Annie Hill |
|
|
Annie and her husband Pete
continue their life aboard Badger around the South Atlantic. In
doing so they experience the coast of Brazil, inland in Uruguay,
then following the coast of Argentina and the Falklands. There is
less about Annie and Pete's life philosophy in this book than in
Annie's first, but enough to enable you to see that it is possible
to live on £1500 a year, and not only that - it is possible enjoy
life at the same time. This is a book full of observations - mostly
about human character - and there are many wonderful cameos of those
whom Annie and Pete meet. This is a book for wannabe sailors who need stories like this to keep going until the day when
it's time to set off and move closer to the edge of civilisation. |

Simon Weston |
 |
The story of Welsh Guardsman
Simon Weston, who while serving in the Falklands War suffered
horrific injuries as a result of the attack on the ship "Sir
Galahad". Simon gives his own account of his war experiences,
and his subsequent struggle to rebuild his life despite physical and
emotional scars. |
Going
Back: Return to the
Falklands
Simon
Weston |
|
This is the story of how
former soldier Simon Weston returned to visit the Falkland Islands
10 years after the war. It also describes his meeting with the
Argentine pilot who bombed the Sir Galahad, which resulted in the
deaths of 51 soldiers from his regiment, and his own severe burning. |
Simon
Weston: Moving on
Simon Weston |
|
|
Simon Weston's life as a
young Welsh guardsman was blown apart when Argentinian planes bombed
the British supply ship the "Sir Galahad" during the
Falklands conflict of 1982. Many of his friends died in the blast
and fire that followed. Simon escaped with horrific burns to become
a hero, as he struggled to rebuild his life, and to provide
inspiration for others. Two autobiographies and a series of
television documentaries have kept Simon in the public eye, but you
don't remain famous simply for being famous. In these pages Simon
brings his story up to date for 2003, providing more insights into
the events that have shaped his life. After more than 70 operations
to repair his damaged face and body, Simon has jumped with the Red
Devils and run the New York marathon, raising money for Weston
Spirit, the young people's charity that bears his name. His work on
behalf of others has brought him an OBE, the freedom of Liverpool,
and much recognition. But Simon's story has darker moments, too.
Family rifts and the ticking time bomb of post-traumatic stress cast
shadows across his road to recovery. This volume sees Weston at last
lay his Falklands ghost to rest. Two meetings with the Argentinian
pilot who bombed the "Sir Galahad" have strengthened his
conviction that there are no winners in war, only losers on both
sides. In a third and final return to the islands, Simon confronts
the magnitude of loss and bids goodbye to the old self he left
behind.

National
Interest, National Honour: Diplomacy of the
Falklands
Crisis
Douglas Kinney |
|
|
Assesses the three failed
peacemaking attempts during the Falklands crisis of 1982. The author
examines the reasons for the failures in negotiations and offers
several case studies in negotiating and third party mediation of
international conflict. Using the Falklands crisis as an example, he
examines the unique political context of the territorial crisis;
what the Third World insists is the ongoing process of
"decolonization," the global spread of sophisticated
military technologies and the world arms bazaar. These changes in
turn have led to new norms and new means of establishing territory
and sovereignty, according to Kinney. He offers a study of British
representational democracy, politics, defense, world view, Argentine
history and politics as well as the lack of political and diplomatic
imagination of both parties at the source of the conflict. |
The
Falklands
War: Myth and Countermyth
David Monaghan |
|
This book examines the debate
which has long raged in Britain about the meaning of the Falklands
War. Using literary critical methods, Monaghan examines how the
Thatcherite reading of the war as a myth of British greatness reborn
was developed through political speeches and journalistic writing.
He then goes on to discuss a number of films, plays, cartoon strips
and travel books which have subverted the dominant myth by finding
national metaphors of a very different kind in the Falklands War. |
Domestic
Sources of Foreign Policy – West European Reactions to the
Falklands
Conflict
Stelio Stavridis & Christopher Hill |
|
The Falklands War of 1982
figures prominently in recent British history. The impact this
conflict had on Western Europe and the tensions it caused within the
European Community has not, however, been properly examined. This
book, written by leading experts, throws new light on the workings
of EC foreign policy, national foreign policies, and the
relationship between individual states, as seen in an unusual moment
of crisis. The authors compare the reactions of the respective
governments, political parties, the media and public opinion, and
examine the domestic dimensions of foreign policy-making in the
countries involved. Particular attention is paid to Spain, the only
country to depart from the original European consensus. Complicating
factors included its historical ties with Latin America, its
accession to NATO membership in June 1982, and its bid to join the
EC. Other countries of particular interest are Italy, Ireland and
Denmark, who broke ranks with the common European position after a
month because of economic interests, ingrained attitudes and legal
considerations are also analyzed. |
