Yeap, The Battle for the Falklands...
Got it mostly because of the author, the whole Malvinas thing seems really pointless and cruel from my point of view, a wild card that they like to use around here to hide worst -far more worse- things than a war from plain view.

Anyways, as you should expect, the book is really based on the English side of things, and it doesn't seem as interesting as the other Hastings books I read so far.

I'm fed up with war or weapons related books for the moment, next one a Paul Auster one, and in Spanish.

Don't snub for me, Argentina

I love this... I was looking around for what sort of repercussion, if any, had the the Hillary Rodham Clinton overnight stay in Argentina...
Haven't found much, but this one is golden: Argentina Asks US Help to End Falklands Spat

Clinton had planned to see Fernandez in Montevideo, and then only briefly, where they both attended the inauguration of new Uruguayan President Jose Mujica. There had been grumbling in Argentina that Clinton's original decision to skip Buenos Aires was a snub.

I still remember the first Malvinas war, I was about 10, the most vivid thing I recall, the day the war started, was a car full of over excited fellow Argentinians waving flags, shouting, and proudly bearing a painted swastika on the car door, needless to say, that car was rushing towrds Plaza de Mayo to celebrate that the islands were once again with the righteous owners.

One thing, tho, at least the Malvinas war was fought in part, and least if you listen to the Argentina propaganda, because of the krill, the food of the future, for the over populated planet about to collapse.

This time things are not as romantic, and the whole "spat" is for the dirty oil.
