The Crucial Battle of the Falklands
Goose Green - The Falklands - 28 May 1982. 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 Argentinean soldiers who fought at Goose Green, and their commanders' narratives, it has become the definitive account of the most important and controversial land battle of the Falklands War.
