Inhaltsangabe
This is the first story of a trilogy of Timeline 10/27/62 novellas about the invasion and the occupation of the Falkland Islands in 1964 and its aftermath....
Less than 18 months have passed since the October War and the war in the South Atlantic begins....
In Buenos Aires, there were three of them: the physician doctor who hoped he might heal his divided nation, and the two generals, one the great puppeteer of his generation of officers, the other a would-be technocrat who almost but not quite knew what he was doing. And, forgotten nowadays, there was the admiral who went along with the greatest gamble in his fragile country’s history and privately, regretted ever-after.
On the night of second/third April, 1964, Operation Southern Justice, the liberation of the Malvinas and the lost South Atlantic territories, entered its end game as the assault force, supported by every seaworthy ship of the Argentine Navy came ashore on the Falklands Islands, and eight hundred miles away attempted to land at Leith Harbour on South Georgia.
Operation Southern Justice had been envisaged as a massive show of strength which would, almost bloodlessly awe and overwhelm the weak British forces on East Falkland and South Georgia.
At the same moment, Argentine Marines were going ashore on East Falkland. Two Red Army tank armies – their entire surviving Soviet strategic reserve – was crashing into Iran, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet was moving to seize Malta, was unknown to the ruling clique in Buenos Aires. However, any sense that the liberation of the Malvinas had been timed serendipitously was soon dispelled by the events of the following hours and days.
The struggle for the Malvinas was only just beginning.
The second story in this trilogy, Puerto Argentino, will be released in March 2020, and the third, A Kelper's Tale, in May 2020. Taken together, the Falklands Trilogy of stories will add context to the Timeline 10/27/62 main series books Armadas (available in October 2020) and Smoke on the Water (available in April 2021).
