- Title
La Guerra de las Malvinas: memorias de un veterano.

- Abstract
The Malvinas War was an armed and declared conflict between Argentina and Great Britain (United Kingdom) for the possession of the so-called Malvinas Islands (Falklands, in English) located in the South Atlantic, resulting in the British victory and the beginning of a very more rooted in Argentine society: the conflict generated by different constructions of memory about the war. Veterans and family associations are the places of memories where the most participatory people emerge in the debate about the representations of such a war. César Horácio González Trejo, a civilian veteran of the war, opted to join an association of relatives of soldiers killed in the war instead of a veterans' association. His views on the war differed in many ways from other civilian veterans like himself. I addressed these factors in the interview, when analyzing the construction of Trejo's memory on certain aspects of the war, such as its legitimacy.
