{"product_id":"o-codigo-das-profundezas","title":"The code of the depths","description":"In April 1982, Argentine submarines mobilized to defend the Falkland Islands launched into the icy South Atlantic with hull problems, stalled engines, faulty ballast tanks, and malfunctions in onboard computers, communications, power generators, and even torpedoes. In *The Code of the Deep: Courage, Patriotism, and Failure on Board Argentine Submarines in the Falklands*, Roberto Lopes recovers and analyzes this story based on classified documents from the Argentine, US, and Brazilian navies, as well as Argentine diplomatic documents. It's an essential book for understanding the episode and shedding light on the geopolitical future of the South Atlantic. \"This book describes the threat that the Argentine Navy's Submarine Force posed to its British enemies during the 1982 Falklands War. It describes the factors that shaped its actions and the lessons—and consequences—derived from its modest performance,\" states Lopes. Among the many revelations, the author recounts how Admiral Juan Lombardo—a submariner who masterminded the amphibious assault on the Falklands and is currently imprisoned for human rights violations—did with his subordinates what he had not wanted for himself in 1958: crew an old submarine in a situation of grave danger. The book also sheds light on how the Argentine submarine fiasco led to the disrepute of the country's Navy, which is now inferior to the Brazilian, Chilean, and Peruvian navies.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176307998972,"sku":"9788520011225","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/d7d3d583fe62a7f802db8a72e3c1112f.jpg?v=1778319070","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-codigo-das-profundezas","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
