Book Synopsis
A controversial, detailed examination of the decisive events of the Falklands war, focusing on the Battle of Goose Green and questioning the media's presentation of the heroic victory for the British.

Trade Review
"As a service to history, this is commendable" Major Ali Ahmed, USI Journal "His argument that Col. Jones leaned too heavily towards restrictive control is convincing ... a remarkably outspoken book." Soldier "Controversial and readable, explains clearly the two contradictory systems of tactical command under consideration at Goose Green. This is a fascinating book which looks at a very recent piece of our history from a new and disturbing angle." Forces News "Exhaustive research ... A masterly study of this confused action." Eastern Daily Press
