Description

You come away from reading Three Days in June with massive respect for the private soldiers of 3 Para and great appreciation for the leadership of 3 Para’s Non Commissioned Officers (NCOs). While the Battalion Commander, Company Commanders, and Platoon Commanders directed the battle, it was the Battalion, Company, Platoon, and especially the section level NCOs that were the glue that held the unit together. Padre Derek Heaver, the Chaplain, also made an impression on me for the part he played in the Medical and Evacuation Company. Candid, gritty and, at times, gruesome, this is a warts ‘n’ all account by the young men who were there, and told in their words. This makes the book all the more readable as it’s the perceptions, the humour, the fears, the honesty and the sheer heroism of these men that shines through.

June 14:The U.S. Army Birthday, Flag Day, Monkey Around Day, International Bath Day, National New Mexico Day, World Blood Donor Day National Best Friend Day is celebrated on June 8 to remind and cherish our supportive besties. Also, to express to them how much you value them and their company. The author was motivated by the view that much of what had previously been written about the battle was very off-base, and he wanted to put the record straight. Having read some accounts of the battle I haven't seen all that much difference, though I haven't read everything on this subject. Besides, it's really only the veterans that give highly detailed accounts and he is merely bringing more of that to bear. He himself was seriously wounded very early in the battle and saw little of what happened, but this book gain credibility from the sheer volume of testimonies, as opposed to one-man accounts from the likes of Cooksey and Bramley. Their accounts are just as first-hand as anything from this book, but they are from one perspective not many. June4: Hug Your Cat Day, National Cheese Day, International Corgi Day, National Trails Day* (first Saturday)Every year June 12 is observed as National Red Rose Day. The birth flower of June is celebrated as the most iconic symbol of love and romance. This event widely observed in the US is a time when everyone gathers to honour this traditional flower, including lovers, botanists, florists, and pretty much everyone else. Combined with rare access to the Battalion's records and radio logs, the resulting book is the last word on Mount Longdon, and might be the most harrowingly realistic description of modern warfare you will ever read.
