  The author has had access to Channel 4's account of the conflict from leading participants in both Britain and Argentina. The book is being published to tie-in with a four-part Channel 4 TV-series on the Falklands War, timed to appear on the 10th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. Among its many revelations are: the story behind the Argentine junta's decision to invade the Malvinas; the lack of co-ordination in the British Government which led to the loss of the Falklands; the debate inside the British military about the feasibility of recapturing the Falklands long after the task force had been despatched; the truth behind the sinking of the Belgrano; the chaos of the successful Argentine air attack on the British ships at Bluff Cove and Fitzroy.
