Description
D-Day, Arnhem and the Rhine: A Glider Pilot's Memoir by Robert F. Ashby This rare and vivid memoir offers a fascinating insight into the world of a 'citizen soldier' during World War II. Robert Ashby's account of his experiences, including his training and the intense fighting that followed, provides a unique perspective on the major operations of the war, such as D-Day, Arnhem, and the Rhine crossing. Ashby's narrative takes the reader inside the world of glider landings on enemy territory, while under fire, and his pen-portraits of comrades and officers offer a personal and humanizing touch. The glider landings at Arnhem and the subsequent fighting are a highlight of his story, providing a remarkable insight into one of the most controversial Allied disasters of the war. A valuable contribution to the history of the Second World War, Ashby's memoir is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the experiences of the men who played a crucial role in the conflict.
