All for One, One for All provides a contemporary perspective of the
baptism of fire of one of the oldest, most resourceful and well-trained
war fighting institutions in Latin America: the Argentine Navy. It
offers a rare insight into the relationship between institutional
culture and modern warfare, with specific reference to the
Falklands/Malvinas War of 1982, and is a case study of how a very modest
navy with very few naval platforms engaged in a limited war against a
major naval power and nevertheless was able to make its mark.
This book examines the institutional culture that accounts for a great
deal of the activities and rationale of the Argentine Navy as an
instrument of state policy and includes a detailed reconstruction of all
operations by the Argentine Navy during the Falklands/Malvinas War. The
Falklands/Malvinas campaign was a major naval landmark for the Argentine
Navy, but the influence of institutional culture was clearly
identifiable in the actions of the service as a whole.
All for One, One for All provides a much needed cultural
interpretation of the Argentine Navy, and is essential reading for
anyone interested in modern Argentine naval history and strategy. It
includes over 100 photographs, specially commissioned maps and unique
color profiles.
