The Belgrano Diary

The sinking of the Argentinian warship, the General Belgrano, is one of the most controversial events in modern British history. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was accused of a war crime. At the centre of the scandal was the private diary of an officer onboard the submarine that fired the torpedoes – it contained an account of the sinking that contradicted Thatcher’s in every crucial detail. The Belgrano Diary is a new six part series from the Documentary Team at the London Review of Books, hosted by Andrew O’Hagan.

As well as the full six-part series, your purchase grants access to extended and additional interviews and clips, including:

- exclusive interviews with John Lanchester, Paul Rogers and Anthony Barnett

- extended interviews with Kathleen Dalyell, Jon Rentoul, David Omand, Magnus Linklater and Isabel Hilton
