Description
The Battle of Arnhem has acquired a near-legendary status in British military history as an audacious plan to land paratroopers into the Netherlands and spearhead an attack against the German-held Ruhr.
Beyond images of brave paratroopers and scenes from A Bridge Too Far, this was in fact one of the most complex and strategically important operations of the war. It was expected that the British would sweep through and connect with the Arnhem force within a matter of days.
But things on the ground proved very different. The Allied forces were isolated, without reinforcements and unable to advance.
The operation ended in disaster. Using first-hand accounts, maps and detailed timelines, historian Chris Brown explores the unfolding action of the battle and puts the reader on the front line.
If you truly want to understand what happened and why – read on.
