My Falkland Days

This is a memoir of the colonial British governor of the Falkland Islands during the British-Argentine Falklands War. The tone is self-congratulatory concerning his actions as well as the British government's role in resisting the "Gestapo-like" Argentines. The majority of the narrative is taken up by the events of the war, although the entirety of Hunt's period as governor is covered. Hunt avoids controversy, toeing Downing Street's line on important issues, but discusses some small bureaucratic infighting. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c.
