Description
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with very minor traces of storage. 291pp. The author reveals that at the time of the Falklands War in 1982, Argentina was developing its own nuclear weapons. That, and how to strengthen Margaret Thatcher who was on the verge of being toppled as British prime minister, led Ronald Reagan to encourage Britain to respond to the Argentine attack on the Falklands Islands. Reagan needed Thatcher in power to assist in his moves to contain the Soviet Union.
