Inspiration for the major motion picture 6 Days, starring Jamie
Bell as Rusty Firmin Go! Go! Go! tells the action-packed story of
the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. It is a comprehensive and gripping
account of an unforgettable six-day drama that shook Britain - and
the wider world - to the core. Drawing on original and unseen
source material from ex-SAS soldier Rusty Firmin, the police and
the British Government, Go! Go! Go! takes us to the heart of the
whole operation. The assault planning and training, strategy and
tactics are described in detail, and the personal stories of the
gunmen revealed - who they were, where they came from, why they did
it and Saddam Hussein's direct involvement. Compelling accounts of
each day of the siege from the hostages' points of view show how
they dealt with captivity individually and collectively. And new
material explains the negotiators' tactics and their cool exterior
versus their internal turmoil as negotiations reached crisis point.
From its early beginnings in World War II, the Special Air Service
(SAS) has won renown in some of the most dramatic, dangerous and
controversial military special operations of the 20th century. It
is a secretive and mysterious unit, whose operations and internal
structures are hidden from the public eye. Now, one of its
longest-serving veterans offers a glimpse into the shadowy world of
the SAS. Rusty Firmin spent an incredible 15 years with 'The
Regiment' and was a key figure in the assault of the Iranian
Embassy in London in May 1980. Newly revised and available in
paperback, this is the unforgettable chronicle of Rusty's combat
experiences - a fascinating and intimate portrayal of what it was
like to be part of the world's most respected Special Operations
Force.
