Major and Mrs.Holt's Battlefield Guide Operation Market Garden: Leopoldsville, Eindhoven, Nijmegen, Arnhem, Oosterbeek

by Tonie Holt (Author), Valmai Holt (Author)

Synopsis

Operation Market Garden was the name given to the US, UK and Polish airborne assault on the Arnhem, Nijmegen and Eindhoven bridges and the ill-fated 30 Corps advance to relieve the hard-pressed paras. While everyone knows that Arnhem was 'a bridge too far', few understand the true reasons for the catastrophic failure to link up. There have been numerous guide books to the fighting around Arnhem in particular, but this is the first to cover the Operation as a whole.NEW, FULLY UPDATED EDITION PACKAGED WITH A FREE, FULL COLOUR FOLD-OUT MAP
