Description
The Battle of Arnhem is a vivid account of how a brilliant plan turned into an epic tragedy. In September 1944, nine thousand men of the First British Airborne Division were parachuted into the peaceful countryside surrounding Arnhem, with the objective of capturing and holding the bridge over the Rhine ahead of the advancing British Second Army. The battle was fierce, with some of the fiercest street-fighting of the war taking place over nine days. Despite this, 2000 paratroopers managed to escape to safety. This book tells the true story of the Battle of Arnhem, a pivotal moment in World War II that has been immortalized in film. A detailed and well-recorded account, this book provides a unique insight into one of the most significant battles of the war.
