Osprey Men-at-Arms №134. English Adrian, Watts Anthony. Battle for the Falklands (2)

Osprey Publishing, 1982. — 51 p. — ISBN 0850454921.In the early hours of the chilly late-autumn morning, April 2 1982, substantial forces of Argentine Marines, with heavy naval and air support, had invaded the Falkland islands, quickly and almost bloodlessly overwhelming a token garrison of Royal Marines. The following day Argentine forces also invaded the Falklands dependency of South Georgia, forcing the garrison of just 22 Royal Marines to surrender - though not before they had inflicted disproportionately heavy losses on their attackers.
