Product Information
In the last great land battle of the twentieth century, one man bit off more than he could chew...But he chewed it anyway. n May 27, 1982, three hundred soldiers from 2 Para under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert 'H' Jones, landed at the beaches of Goose Green. Their daunting task was to defeat the 1,500-strong Argentine force dug in there, and open the crucial beachhead at San Carlos, paving the way to ultimate victory at Stanley. The enemy soldiers were of Guarani Indian heritage, a proud warrior race, and were General Galtieri's finest. It was going to be a hard, painful fight. wenty-four hours later, when the dust had settled on the most ferocious battle in post-war British history, nearly 200 Argentine soldiers were killed or wounded, with another 1,000 captured. Goose Green would cost 2 Para the lives of 17 men, including the post-humously decorated 'H' Jones. ow, John Geddes, former 2 Para colonel, SAS hero and veteran of a fistful of hard wars, tells the real story of the Battle of Goose Green, the first and decisive battle of the Falklands War, as he saw it. This is a no-holds barred account of what it was really like to charge across the beachhead, bulletsProduct Identifiers
