After D-Day, the Allies want to advance across the Rhine to Germany at Arnhem. Operation Market Garden in September 1944 becomes the largest airborne operation of the Second World War, with 40,000 paratroopers dropped behind German lines. But the Allied advance comes to a halt, with many casualties and countless victims among the Dutch civilian population, who are then subjected to the German occupiers' vengeful reprisals. Beevor, as one would expect: a dense narrative, detailed in its description of the cruel events of war, yet compassionate and incorruptible.
