Patagonia under surveillance. Chile in the Falklands War

Patagonia under surveillance. Chile in the Falklands War
 Ivan Martinic (Author)

 REVIEW:
 April 2, 1982. Argentina occupies the Falkland Islands to end what it considers a historic usurpation by the United Kingdom. Alarm bells ring not only in a London caught off guard but also in Chile, which, three years after the near-war over the Beagle Channel and amidst stalled papal mediation, feels it will be Buenos Aires' next target. Forty years after the conflict, Martinic pieces together the puzzle of Chile's involvement in the Falklands/Malvinas War, gathering fragments that have remained scattered for decades, their full significance obscured. In the book, he compiles the main actions of Augusto Pinochet's government and, above all, of the Chilean Air Force and Navy, the institutions most involved in supporting the United Kingdom.
