The Falklands Saga : a critical study of the Falklands Islands in history and international law, with a compendium of documents /Graham Pascoe. "Volume 1 briefly describes the Falklands landscape and wildlife before analysing the discovery of the islands, revealing strong evidence that they were discovered at the latest around 1518-19 by a Portuguese expedition, not by Vespucci or Magellan. Volume 1 ends just before the beginning of the Second Falklands Crisis of 1831-3, unleashed by Argentina's representative in the islands, Louis Vernet, who seized three American sealing ships."--Provided by the publisher. 2022-2023. • FOLIO • 3 copies available.
