Raymond Briggs's uncompromising and visceral take on the Falklands War, first published in 1984.

BANG! BANG! BANG! went the guns of the Tin-Pot Foreign GeneralBANG! BANG! BANG! went the guns of the Old Iron Woman
Raymond Briggs's visceral take on the Falklands War is uncompromising in its dark and moving satire of the build-up and aftermath of the conflict. This controversial book's infamous stars - General Leopoldo Galtieri and Margaret Thatcher - are depicted as robotic caricatures with a pointless blood lust.
