- This monograph is approximately 90,000 words long. It addresses a theme, the experiences and aftermaths of the 1982 Falklands war, in considerable depth, and sets those experiences in different contexts, social, military, political and temporal, across 14 chapters. It took six years to research and write the book, during which time the author conducted 60+ life-story interviews with former soldiers and family members of soldiers killed, and gathered new primary sources from numerous archives (Imperial War Museum, National Army Museum, National Archives, regimental archives). These diverse and complex sources, themes and contexts were brought together into one extended work.
