The Beagle Conflict – eBook EPUB Bundle (Volumes 1–2)

The Beagle Conflict is a two-volume study of the territorial dispute between Argentina and Chile that brought the two South American nations to the brink of war. Covering more than a century of political tension, military planning, and diplomatic negotiation, the series examines one of the Cold War's least-known international crises. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and original colour artwork, it provides a detailed account of the conflict from its origins to its peaceful resolution.

Volume 1 traces the origins of the dispute from the nineteenth century through to early 1978, exploring the competing territorial claims, border incidents, and growing political tensions surrounding the strategically important Beagle Channel and its surrounding islands.

Volume 2 examines the 1978 crisis, when Argentina and Chile stood on the verge of full-scale war. It details the military forces, operational plans, deployments, and the diplomatic efforts led by the Vatican that ultimately prevented conflict, before concluding with the easing of tensions through to 1984.

Together, these two eBooks provide the definitive account of the Beagle Conflict, making them essential reading for anyone interested in Latin American history, Cold War politics, military planning, and international diplomacy.
