Arnhem Operation Market Garden
Description
Description
Eighty years ago, Operation Market Garden became one of the most ambitious, risky, and costly endeavours of World War Two.
The combined airborne and ground thrust from the Belgian frontier into the southern Netherlands to seize key bridges and position the Allied 21st Army Group for a rapier thrust into the industrial heart of Nazi Germany.
Unexpected German resistance and other factors conspired to end the offensive short of its primary objective.
But not before the British 1st Airborne Division, particularly its 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment, had fought an epic battle for the bridge across the Lower Rhine at Arnhem.
The US 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions fought tenaciously as well, and the veteran XXX Corps battered its way northward. However, time, distance, and a tenacious enemy brought the effort, conceived by General Bernard Montgomery, to a halt.
This volume recounts the stirring valour of the participants along with the desperation and devotion to duty embodied in the famous phrase, “a bridge too far.”
