Goose Green was the first land battle of the Falklands War. It was
also the longest, the hardest-fought, the most controversial and
the most important to win. What began as a raid became a vicious,
14-hour infantry struggle, in which 2 Para - outnumbered,
exhausted, forced to attack across open ground in full daylight,
and with inadequate fire support - lost their commanding officer,
and almost lost the action. This is the only full-length, detailed
account of this crucial battle. Drawing on the eye-witness accounts
of both British and Argentinian soldiers who fought at Goose Green,
and their commanders' narratives, it has become the definitive
account of most important and controversial land battle of the
Falklands War. A compelling story of men engaged in a battle that
hung in the balance for hours, in which Colonel 'H' Jones' solo
charge against an entrenched enemy won him a posthumous V.C., and
which for both sides was a gruelling and often terrifying
encounter.
