June 19: Juneteenth, Father's Day, National Watch Day, National Martini Day, World Sauntering Day, National Turkey Lovers' Day* (third Sunday) This day is observed annually to make people remind to slow down and enjoy life as possible instead of rushing always. This day also reminds us to take it easy, take time to smell roses, take time to see nature that is so beautiful, look at the sky and enjoy life. This is not a book written by an academic or a journalist, it is a book written by a soldier who was there; O’Connell not only served in the Falklands but participated in and was seriously wounded in the Battle for Mount Longdon. In this book, O’Connell doesn’t attempt to tell the story of the battle himself; he does it through interviews with many of the participants, radio log excerpts, diary entries, and excerpts from some secondary sources (as a radio hobbyist, I enjoyed the inclusion of the radio logs and I believe they add a lot to the account – there are times that you can feel the aggravation and frustration within them). The result is a soldier’s eye view of the battle told in the language of the soldier. I have never been in a battle, much less served in the military but I think this book probably comes as close as possible to relating the fear, confusion, stress, and emotion the soldiers of 3 Para and their supporting units felt without actually being there. The book is divided into eight chapters, with 4 chapters devoted to B Company, one chapter each devoted to Support Company, A Company, and C Company, 3 Para and one chapter devoted to the Medical and Evacuation personnel. The chapters use accounts from the soldiers involved, radio log entries, excerpts from diaries, and other sources which O’Connell puts together like pieces of a puzzle to give an overview of the battle chronologically with each Company. As he puts it in the introduction:

Flag Day is celebrated throughout the United States, with patriotic displays, parades, ceremonies, and educational activities. It serves as a time to honour the American flag, reflect on its symbolism, and express national pride and unity. 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.

I wanted to give more of a 360 degree view, with a timeline and an accurate sequence of events, so that the reader and the soldiers who took part in the battle can understand more about their colleagues’ pars in the battle, as most of the soldiers who took part in the battle only knew their own part."

Three Days In June: The Incredible Minute-by-Minute Oral

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. About This Edition ISBN:June 28: Insurance Awareness Day, International Body Piercing Day, Tau Day, National Paul Bunyan Day, Alaska Day June 23:International Widows' Day, Let It Go Day, National Pink Day, Typewriter Day, National Porridge 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 books is in essence an painstakingly curated narrative of the battle using only quotes from first-hand witnesses. Several people describe the same event, and those same several people describe an event that happens 30 minutes later. O'Connell edits the work well, to avoid annoying repetition, instead giving us different angles of the same events. I read the book for research into a novel I'm writing and wrote extensive notes. When I realised his approach was a 'mere' collation of verbatim testimony I was concerned it might become hard-going, but it's a testament to O'Connell's work that he's created something very readable.
