On 28th May 1982, 450 men of the 2nd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, stood poised to retake the settlement of Goose Green on East Falkand, where 1500 Argentine soldiers had captured, and were holding in squalid conditions, 119 Falkand Islanders – men, women, children and one baby. 2 Para’s mission – to capture the settlements of Darwin and Goose Green and save the lives of the hostages. This is a true story of a great victory against all the odds. Forty years on, Goose Green is still the biggest, bloodiest battle the British Army has fought in modern times. In chronological order and in their own voices, the author has compiled a living narrative of the battle by the men who fought it; the men of 2 Para, the SAS, the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, and others, in more than a hundred exclusive and untold personal accounts.
