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.
