Description
Arnhem 1944: The Airborne Battle
The Battle of Arnhem was a pivotal moment in World War II, as Allied forces attempted to seize key bridges across the rivers of Holland and unleash a mobile army into Germany. The operation, led by General Montgomery, was a gamble that could have ended the war before Christmas 1944, but ultimately ended in defeat.
Using meticulous research and personal accounts from over 500 participants, Martin Middlebrook provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the battle, from the initial operation to the withdrawal of the survivors across the Rhine. This masterly summary sheds light on the intelligence failures and military decisions that led to the last major defeat in battle suffered by the British Army.
