5.0 out of 5 stars Summary of this Great Falklands Book, October 6, 2000

Piers Ellison (Nottingham UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goose Green: A Battle Is Fought to Be Won (Hardcover)

Excellent. Of the many books I have read about the Falklands War and Goose Green and this is the most readable, informative and concise read. The book goes into great details about the individual movements of soldiers, the death of Col 'H', and the real problems they faced, quite an eye-opener. Great Maps, great narrative, couldn't put it down. I'm now looking for another book by the same author!

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb account of a terrifying battle, November 17, 1999

Richard Bailey (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goose Green: A Battle Is Fought to Be Won (Hardcover)

I would like to recommend this book to any and all with an interest in the events of the Battle for Goose Green. Mr Adkin has accompanied his text with very informative and explanatory maps and sketches which, when combined with the narrative, make this a book you just can't put down. The men of 2 Para have had their story told superbly well in this book.
