Publisher Description

The classic account of the Battle of Arnhem—one of the most dramatic battles of World War II.

In September of 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Market Garden, a doomed attempt invasion of the German-occupied Netherlands. At the vanguard of this operation, British and American airborne forces were dropped into the Dutch city of Arnhem—behind enemy lines—to capture the crucial bridge across the Rhine. It was the greatest armada of troop-carrying aircraft ever assembled, but the massive effort cost the Allies nearly twice as many casualties as D-Day.

A Bridge Too Far is Cornelius Ryan’s masterly chronicle of this important battle. Focusing on a vast cast of characters—from Dutch civilians to British and American strategists to common soldiers and commanders—Ryan brings to life one of the most daring and ill-fated operations of the war. This classic of World War II history captures the terror and suspense, the heroism and tragedy of this epic operation.
