Synopsis:
In 1980, a group of terrorists seized the Iranian embassy in London and took captive everyone inside. When one of the hostages was murdered, the SAS Special Air Services of the British Army received their orders: ?Go! Go! Go!” Seventeen minutes later, five of the six terrorists lay dead, and the last taken prisoner. The remaining hostages all survived, and no Special Forces man died. This mission carried out in daylight at the Prime Minister’s demand, so that the world could see catapulted the SAS overnight from obscurity to worldwide fame. Written with the active involvement of the men who participated, this fascinating work features a host of revelations that will surprise even the most dedicated SAS enthusiast, and interest everyone concerned with terrorism in our dangerous age.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Go! Go! Go! tells the action-packed story of the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. It is a comprehensive, detailed and gripping account of an unforgettable six-day drama that shook Britain - and the wider world - to the core. Drawing on original and unseen source material from ex-SAS soldier Rusty Firmin, the police and the British Government, Go! Go! Go! takes us to the heart of the whole operation. The assault planning and training, strategy and tactics are described in detail, and the personal stories of the gunmen revealed - who they were; where they came from; why they did it, and Saddam Hussein's direct involvement. Compelling accounts of each day of the siege from the hostages' points of view show how they dealt with captivitiy individually and collectively. New material explains the negotiators' tactics and their cool exterior versus internal turmoil as negotiations reached crisis point. Thirty years have passed, but still the SAS assault on the Iranian embassy is considered to be the gold standard for hostage-rescue missions. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001754116
