Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world calls The Falkland Islands harsh and isolated. The Carters called it home... In 1982, war brought The Falkland Islands into the spotlight. When Jennifer and her family put down roots in an unspoiled community on West Falkland, they can't help but see the unruly climate and the close proximity to a frozen wasteland. How could a place like this be worth fighting for?The Carters quickly learn that the Falklands way of life is friendliness and self-sufficiency. Their new life becomes one of abundant wildlife and growing their own food, but it never strays from the island's true British identity. Part homesteading, part off-the-grid, and all charm, this loving testimony to the resilient people of the islands will have you adding the Falklands to your bucket list in an instant. My Falkland Islands Life is the story of one family's adventure in a British territory 8,000 miles from the United Kingdom. Whether you live on the islands, plan to travel there, or enjoy fascinating travelogues, you'll love Jen Carter's engaging memoir of a charming life at the bottom of the world.

Book excerpt: When she was twenty-seven, Nell Stevens—a lifelong aspiring novelist—won an all-expenses-paid fellowship to go anywhere in the world to write. Would she choose a glittering metropolis, a romantic village, an exotic paradise? Not exactly. Nell picked Bleaker Island, a snowy, windswept pile of rock in the Falklands. Other than sheep, penguins, paranoia, and the weather, there aren’t many distractions, but as Nell soon discovers, total isolation and 1,085 calories a day are far from ideal conditions for literary production. With deft humor, this memoir traces her island days and slowly reveals the life and people she has left behind in pursuit of her writing. It seems that there is nowhere she can run—an island or the pages of her notebook—to escape the big questions of love, art, and, ambition.

Book excerpt: "The Falklands lie isolated in the South Atlantic some 300 miles east of the tip of South America. Today sheep-farming is the principal occupation, and the extremely active community are very conscious of their identity and their islands' history. Famous people and events have long been associated with the Magellan was probably the first man to sight the islands, Darwin landed from the "Beagle," and great naval actions took place in the vicinity during both world wars. In spite of fairly modern communications, life on the islands has not changed radically over the last hundred years. There is a very active social and cultural life, and local customs are maintained in a very live way. As small as the population is, however, the islands' defence force holds military parades on Remembrance Sunday and other anniversaries. The islands in fact offer a surprising number of local pursuits as well as being interesting geographically and ecologically speaking. It is undoubtedly significant that the great liner "Ile de France" called at Port Stanley on a recent world cruise, for the richness of bird and sea-mammal life alone makes the islands worth a visit, be it by air or steamer from Montevideo. This first full account of the group by an author, who is himself a Falklander and a naturalist, has indeed really strong interest for historians and biologists as well as the growing body of island enthusiasts." --Descripción del editor.

Book excerpt: Howell Evans was born in 1915 in the Falkland Islands, the fourth member of a family of eight children, and lived there for 31 years. This autobiography tells of Howell Evans' life in the Falklands from his earliest memories to his departure in 1946 - the people he knew, the harsh realities of everyday life, the landscape and the wildlife they relied on. He brings to life the remote farms, the ships, the busy self-reliant atmosphere of Stanley. Mixing jokes, memories and an eye for detail, he captures a lost way of life and a vibrant ecology that still needs protecting. The book aims to offer an important addition to the history of the Falklands and to the understanding of an isolated community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Falkland Islands sprang to fame in 1982, when Argentine Forces invaded and occupied them. British rule was re-established following an intensely violent war. But, as the 30th anniversary of that conflict approaches, the causes of conflict in the Falklands have not been resolved. Simmering tensions means that a powerful military machine remains on the islands, and its guard is never relaxed. The UK has some of its most modern and powerful defense assets there, and on permanent standby. These include Eurofighter Typhoon interceptors; ground to air missiles; mountaintop radar sites, and destroyers and frigates. In addition, the islanders themselves have a potent infantry defense force. Graham Bounds book Fortress Falklands examines the defenses of the islands today and the ongoing need for vigilance.Relations with Argentina have deteriorated since the discovery of oil in Falklands waters and a boom in the Falklands economy. In response, Buenos Aires has established a ban on shipping links between South America and the islands, and they exploit every opportunity to press their case for sovereignty. Islanders believe they are under economic siege.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many books have been written on the Falklands War, this is the first to focus on the vital aspect of logistics. The challenges were huge; the lack of preparation time; the urgency; the huge distances involved; the need to requisition ships from trade to name but four.??After a brief discussion of events leading to Argentina's invasion the book describes in detail the rush to re-organise and deploy forces, despatch a large task force, the innovative solutions needed to sustain the Task Force, the vital staging base at Ascension Island, the in-theatre resupply, the set-backs and finally the restoring of order after victory.??Had the logistics plan failed, victory would have been impossible and humiliation inevitable, with no food for the troops, no ammunition for the guns, no medical support for casualties etc.??The lessons learnt have never been more important with increasing numbers of out-of-area operations required in remote trouble spots at short notice. The Falklands experience is crucial for the education of new generations of military planners and fascinating for military buffs and this book fills an important gap.
