The author begins by situating the Falklands Crisis within the wider context of the breakup of the British Empire and discusses the fluid political situation in Parliament at the time. Following this, the book examines in detail each of the parties - the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the SDP-Liberal Alliance - and their actions during the crisis. The chapters focus on each party in turn and follow a chronological narrative to reconcile the evolution of the diplomatic and military picture with the internal political one. 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aLatin American History 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 14$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aLatin American History. 676 $a324.24104 700 $aBruni$b Domenico Maria$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0268359 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299800103321 996 $aThe British Political Parties and the Falklands War$92535135 997 $aUNINA
