About this listen

Inspiration for the major motion picture 6 Days, starring Jamie Bell as Rusty Firmin.

Go! Go! Go! tells the action-packed story of the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. It is a comprehensive 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 captivity individually and collectively. And new material explains the negotiators' tactics and their cool exterior versus their internal turmoil as negotiations reached crisis point.

I was but off by a negative review but glad I downloaded anyway as this was a superb book, exciting and fast paced and the narrator was brilliant. Highly recommended!

I love true stories and biographies and this happened when I was a teenager. I remember this story when it was happening, but I learned a lot from this book

Intrigued

Probably the best and most detailed account of the Iranian embassy siege in 1980 by one of the SAS team members who took part. Rusty describes in detail the ordeal which took place over six days. He clearly explains the context of which the siege took place, and everything which happened over that time. A fantastic book which has also been made into a film: 6 Days. There is also an exclusive interview at the end of the audio book recording with Rusty.

This is an extremely in depth story of the Iranian hostage siege told from the perspective of the hostages that is very gripping, but there isn't very much about the SAS in this book at all, however it was still a good listen though...

Very Good, but....
