David Monaghan

Description:As wars go, the battle between Britain and Argentina for supremacy in the Falklands Islands was little more than a skirmish. Yet few wars have been asked to bear such a heavy and polarized burden of meaning. In this book, David Monaghan employs literary critical methods in developing a comprehensive analysis of the political speeches and journalism through which the Thatcherite myth of British greatness reborn in the Falklands along neo-conservative lines was communicated. He then assesses some of the many dissident films, plays, travel books, and cartoon strips which, in the years since 1982, have used the Falklands War as the basis for national metaphors.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
