Description
Antony Beevor’s gripping account of Operation Market Garden reconstructs the Allied attempt in September 1944 to seize the bridges of the Netherlands and open a route into Germany. Drawing on overlooked Dutch, British, American, Polish, and German sources, it reveals the complexity of the planning, the intensity of the fighting, and the devastating consequences for soldiers and civilians caught in the campaign. Beyond the battle’s enduring myths of courage and heroic failure, the book examines leadership, national character, civilian resistance, and the human cost of war. Written with Beevor’s characteristic narrative force and historical insight, it offers a vivid reassessment of one of the Second World War’s most dramatic and controversial operations.
