Description

In today’s show, we’re going into more detail about why Argentina failed to defend the Falklands Islands in 1982, and how poor leadership and
command ultimately hindered their military effort. Dr Ben Jones will be telling us all about the ill-preparedness of Argentine forces, the lack of jointery and integration between the three services, and the structural issues within Argentine command and control. Although capturing the Islands was relatively easy, defending them was a whole other matter. Something that Argentina's military leadership was not equipped or prepared for.
