Description
The 40th Anniversary Edition of 3 Days in June: A 360-Degree Account of the Bloodiest Battle of the Falklands War. On the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, a new and detailed account of the bloodiest battle, Mount Longdon, is being released. In June 1982, the battle began under cover of darkness, with three platoons of B Company approaching the mountain silently, treading carefully through a series of defensive minefields. The fighting escalated quickly, resulting in some of the bloodiest close-hand combat, terrible injuries, and shocking loss of life experienced by British troops since the Korean War. James O'Connell, who fought in the battle and was injured himself, has recreated the event in a gut-wrenching and immersive account. With rare access to the Battalion's records and radio logs, O'Connell has created an unprecedented masterpiece of military publishing. This book is a harrowing and realistic description of modern warfare, based on the author's personal experience and extensive research.
