      abstract = {This book is an enthralling account of the role played by  the destroyer ARA Bouchard in the Falklands/Malvinas War.  Over forty years after its construction, with obsolete  technology, scarce maintenance and many out-of-service  machineries, it was still present during the whole campaign  with a prominent role that, for several reasons, remained  hidden until today. During the Falklands/Malvinas conflict,  it patrolled the north of the archipelago to allow the  recapture of the islands. It was noteworthy together with  the Cruiser and another destroyer in the attack on the  British fleet, without being able to find it. On its  return, it was hit by the third torpedo launched by the  submarine Conqueror aimed at the cruiser ARA General  Belgrano. It suffered damage and, although it could still  sail, was forced to dry dock to change a part of its hull.  For two consecutive nights, it stopped British commandos  from making an incursion into the Río Grande airport, in  order to destroy the Navies Super Etendard attack aircraft  and assassinate its pilots. With its main gun battery, it  fired with combat ammunition on enemy targets and was the  only main battery to have the opportunity to do so. It was  irradiated and used for missile target practice; they were  unable to sink it during the firing practice. Later, it was  decommissioned and scrapped.},
