The USMC professional reading list, of which I did get a paper copy through 
the net, lists two books concerning the Falklands.

1. The Battle for the Falklands, by M. Hastings
2. Seapower in the Falklands, by C.W. Koburger

Both are listed in the "seapower" subject headings. The Koburger book
is on the list for Colonels and  Hastings is on the Captain list.

I think I read the Hastings book some years ago, if he is a journalist
who traveled with the Royal Marines. It was a good book.
