We Fought at Arnhem Paperback / softback
by Mike Rossiter
Paperback / softback
Description
Operation Market Garden: a plan to capture the bridge over the Rhine at Arnhem and outflank the German front.
In all twelve thousand airborne troops were to land, either by parachute or glider, at three drop zones and move towards their objective.
As the world now knows the mission was to be 'a bridge too far' for the British forces.
Mike Rossiter has interviewed three of the survivors of those fateful days, each involved in a different flank of the British attack, and in vivid detail reconstructs the events that lead up to this most famous of glorious defeats.
It is at once a story of hubris and bad planning, but also of valiant sacrifice and inspirational courage.
