A review by michael_k
Arnhem: The Battle for the Bridges, 1944 by Antony Beevor

It comes as no surprise that Antony Beevor has written a great book again. A highly detailed account of the ill fated Operation Market Garden bringing to life the desperate struggle for the bridges. The author manages to give new insights to the various decisions and stages of the battle. Besides the gripping tale of the military operations the author doesn't fail to look into the human aspect of the battle. The little personal stories of combatants and civilians alike give a whole different dimension to Beevor's books, getting the reader close to the battle at a personal level.
I think this book it will be one of the great reference books about the battle in the years to come.
