This book explores and reconstructs how the principal parliamentary
parties in Britain confronted and responded to events that unfolded
during the Falklands War in the spring of 1982. The author begins by
situating the Falklands Crisis within the wider context of the breakup
of the British Empire and discusses the fluid political situation in
Parliament at the time. Following this, the book examines in detail
each of the parties – the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and
the SDP-Liberal Alliance – and their actions during the crisis. The
chapters focus on each party in turn and follow a chronological
narrative to reconcile the evolution of the diplomatic and military
picture with the internal political one.
