<p>Arnhem was the heaviest Allied defeat of 1944 and was the subject of the famous film A Bridge Too Far. Casualties during the battle were appalling; the brave and enduring Dutch people suffered catastrophically in the aftermath and German morale was strengthened at a time of otherwise ebbing fortunes. This new revised edition besides being a superb history is, above all, a record of quite extraordinary courage. It is unlikely to be superseded as the standard work on a bold, gallant, yet doomed, undertaking.</p>

Men at Arnhem

This first-hand account of the ill-fated Market Garden operation is recognized as one of the finest evocations of any infantryman's war ever written. Not only is it a moving and personal account of those eight terrible days at Arnhem in September 1944, but it is a fitting tribute to all those who fought with legendary courage and tenacity against an enemy vastly superior in numbers and equipment.
