He thought, and these are his words, that he was just 'giving a nudge to diplomacy' by landing troops in Port Stanley.
(ADMIRAL HARRY D. TRAIN )
Admiral Jorge Anaya , the dominant figure in the Argentine Junta in 1982, described plans to invade the Falklands in his debriefing for the classified American study of the Falklands conflict. By the time that 'nudge' was given, diplomatic negotiations had been in progress for some 17 years. Michael Charlton traces
Argentine attitudes from the 1960s to the outbreak of war, with the help of former foreign ministers and diplomats, including Dr Oscar Camilion , Dr Nicanor Costa Mendez , Dr Roberto Guyer and Admiral Harry D. Train , American
Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic.
