Pink Ice : Britain and the South Atlantic Empire Hardback
by Klaus J. Dodds
Part of the International Library of Human Geography series
Hardback
Description
Pink Ice tells the compelling story of the political struggles over Antarctica and the South Atlantic.
It shows how Britain and Argentina have sought to invest these thinly populated spaces - composed mostly of ice, rock, and water - with cultural and national importance.
The author, who has interviewed leading politicians and civil servants including Lord Carrington, Lord Owen, Lord Chalfont, Lord Hurd, and Lord Shackleton, demonstrates how political rivalries may be played out in other competitive arenas such as World Cup football.
With the 20th anniversary of the Falklands War in 2002, Pink Ice provides a timely analysis of how territorial disputes simply refuse to fade away.
