Reading about the initial defence of the Falklands

Ricky D. Phillips is recommended for work on the initial defending force, with attention drawn to disagreements with official accounts.

Notes

Ricky D. Phillips is recommended for his research into the actions of the small force defending the islands during the initial Argentine attack. His work is described as challenging parts of the official histories. The book title is recalled, with some hesitation, as The First Casualty. The recommendation directs attention to the contested interpretation of that opening action.
