Summary:
"On September 17, 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the groaning roar of airplane engines. He went out onto his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders, carrying the legendary American 101st and 82nd
Airborne
Divisions and the British 1st
Airborne
Division.
Operation
Market Garden, the plan to end the
war
by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept, but could it have ever worked? The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel, and lasted until the end of the
war
. Antony Beevor, using often overlooked sources from Dutch, American, British, Polish, and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting, which General Student called "The Last German Victory." Yet The
Battle
of
Arnhem
, written with Beevor's inimitable style and gripping narrative, is about much more than a single dramatic battle--it looks into the very heart of
war
."--Inside jacket flap.
