Desembarco en las Georgias la Verdad Sobre el Misterioso Incidente que Desató la Guerra by Felipe Celesia Editorial Paidós (Spanish Edition)

In March 1982, a series of events tied to a multimillion-dollar business collided with the escalating historical dispute between Great Britain and Argentina over the Falkland Islands. It could have been the plot of a somewhat absurd movie, an imaginary adventure teeming with mystery. But it was real. It remains etched in the books as one of the causes of the war that erupted just a few days later.

It's a true and pivotal yet far-fetched story, recounted in this book like never before. Journalist and writer Felipe Celesia, who has consistently demonstrated deep investigative skills and the storytelling prowess of a few, narrates in this book the journey of a group of metalworkers and technicians to the South Georgia Islands, fifteen hundred kilometers from the Falklands, to dismantle abandoned whaling installations. He recounts how the hoisting of a flag precipitates the war conflict.

In the realm of wonder, the inhospitable, and the unknown, actions unfold: the British Navy dispatches several ships and Marines, Argentina sends the "Alfa," an elite group led by Lieutenant Alfredo Astiz, and, as if that weren't enough, three French adventurers arrive at the islands on a sailboat, swept in by a storm. Right there, where the war began, as it unfolds, the action occurs, sometimes instilling terror, at other times provoking astonishment, and unraveling with the force of a cannon shot on ice.
