| Publisher Description: Jason Burt was frozen and frightened - and still around two months shy of his 18th birthday - the split-second he answered the call to 'Charge ' and ran, head on, at an Argentinian .50 cal machinegun post during the final days of the Falklands War. Within a few steps, he was dead. Was he alongside Ian McKay at the moment his Parachute Regiment platoon sergeant won the Victoria Cross? This is the story of what led him there, and his family's 30-year wait to discover their 'truth' about how he died. |
