Goose Green: The Decisive Battle of the Falklands War by Nigel Ely Book

Goose Green: The decisive battle of the Falklands War – by the British troops who fought it by Nigel Ely is a moving, first-hand collection for readers who want an unvarnished view of modern combat. Ideal for military history enthusiasts, students, teachers, and gift buyers seeking an authoritative book collection or paperback edition about the Falklands War, this boxed single-title paperback brings together more than 100 exclusive eyewitness accounts that capture the chaos, courage and comradeship of the battle.

This paperback edition (ISBN: 9781789465549) is BRAND NEW and features personal testimonies from soldiers of 2 Para along with voices from the SAS, the Royal Navy, the Merchant Navy and others.
