Books antony beevor penguin paperback april 2019: THE SUNDAY TIMES 1 BESTSELLER The great airborne battle for the bridges in 1944 by Britains Number One bestselling historian and author of the classic Stalingrad Our greatest chronicler of the Second World War - Robert Fox Evening Standard ______________ On 17 September 1944 General Kurt Student the founder of Nazi Germanys parachute forces heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out on to his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions.

He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power. Operation Market Garden the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond was a bold concept.

the Americans thought it unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery. But could it ever have worked.

The cost of failure was horrendous above all for the Dutch who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel and lasted until the end of the war.

The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem in myths. Antony Beevor using often overlooked sources from Dutch British American Polish and German archives has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting which General Student himself called The Last German Victory.

Yet this book written in Beevors inimitable and gripping narrative style is about much more than a single dramatic battle. It looks into the very heart of war.

______________ In Beevors hands Arnhem becomes a study of national character - Ben Macintyre The Times Superb book tirelessly researched and beautifully written - Saul David Daily Telegraph Complete mastery of both the story and the sources - Keith Lowe Literary Review.
