Richard C. Thornton
The Falklands Sting: Reagan, Thatcher and Argentina's Bomb
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with very minor traces of storage. 291pp. The author reveals that at the time of the Falklands War in 1982, Argentina was developing its own nuclear weapons. That, and how to strengthen Margaret Thatcher who was on the verge of being toppled as British prime minister, led Ronald Reagan to encourage Britain to respond to the Argentine attack on the Falklands Islands. Reagan needed Thatcher in power to assist in his moves to contain the Soviet Union.

TARRANT V.E.
Battlecruiser Invincible. The History of the First Battlecruiser, 1909-16. FINE COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER
8vo., First Edition, with 33 plates on 16 and 14 maps in the text; blue cloth, gilt back, a fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Completed as the second most powerful warship in existence, the first of Britain's battlecruisers performed well in her allotted role as scourge of German commerce raiders in WWI. Only when called upon to fulfil a fleet role for which she was never designed did she come to spectacular grief at Jutland. A gripping, if inevitable, story, well told with much new material and good clutch of uncommon photographs.
