Product Description
Pink Ice tells the compelling story of the political struggles over Antarctica and the South Atlantic. It shows how Britain and Argentina have sought to invest these thinly populated spaces - composed mostly of ice, rock, and water - with cultural and national importance. The author, who has interviewed leading politicians and civil servants including Lord Carrington, Lord Owen, Lord Chalfont, Lord Hurd, and Lord Shackleton, demonstrates how political rivalries may be played out in other competitive arenas such as World Cup football. With the 20th anniversary of the Falklands War in 2002, Pink Ice provides a timely analysis of how territorial disputes simply refuse to fade away.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Dr Dodds has marshalled a wealth of research and details on a vibrant and poorly served area of the world... a detailed, well-researched and welcome addition to the literature." -International Journal of Tourism Research "I found Dodds' approach refreshing and vivid. His research has been excellent and his sources well documented. This is a first-class and absorbing account and a choice of reading for all those interested in the politics of the polar regions." -David J.Drewry (University of Hull)
