The title on the spine's jacket has faded and the head and tail of the spine chipped, else immaculate. First published in 1927, 'Struggle for the Falkland Islands' was reprinted by Yale University Press after Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands in 1982. Three reviews from the time of publication: "One byproduct of this text is a clear detailing of the effects of European conflicts on the rest of the world. In this case, we see how complex diplomatic manipulations between England, France, and Spain dramatically affected the evolution of nations in the Americas. Even if one is not interested in the Falklands, or if you prefer, the Malvinas, this detailed study of diplomatic interplay is well worth the price."Jack Beidler, Best Sellers "Provides an unrivalled collection of evidence relating to the history of the Falklands dispute during the pre-1833 period. . . . A major source."-Peter Beck, The Guardian (London) "For anyone interested in the early background of the crisis, Goebel is essential reading. His treatment is encyclopedic and, at times, brilliant. New issues and new sets of principles, such as the self-determination of peoples, have arisen since he wrote the book. But these in no way detract from a work that remains a classic study of diplomacy and international law."Paul B. Goodwin, Jr., History
