The Other War. The Story of the Argentinian Cemetery in the Falkan Islands
Original title: La otra guerra
In late 1982, after the war between Argentina and Great Britain over the Falkan Islands, the British army made office Geoffrey Cardozo identify the Argentine soldiers who had died on that territory and design a cemetery to hold them. The results of Cardozo’s work reached the Argentine government, who didn’t make them public or let the family members of the fallen know. As a result, for over thirty-five years, those soldiers remained unidentified. This book narrated the recent and successful efforts to reinstate a memory that had been obscured by institutional inaction, nationalist pride, and the shadow of the dictatorship.
