Operation Market Garden: the 1944 Battle for Arnhem and Strategic Blunders That Turned Victory Into Defeat

The objective was clear: seize a chain of vital bridges across the Netherlands and create a route toward Arnhem before German forces could recover.But the plan began to unravel.Operation Market Garden takes you into the desperate fighting surrounding Arnhem, Nijmegen, Oosterbeek, Driel, Veghel, and the narrow highway that became the lifeline of the Allied advance.
