Описание: The Sunday Times #1 BestsellerThe great airborne battle for the bridges in 1944 by Britains Number One bestselling historian and author of the classic StalingradOur greatest chronicler of the Second World War . . .

his fans will love it - Robert Fox, Evening StandardThe eye for telling detail which we have come to expect from Antony Beevor. . .

this time, though, he turns his brilliance as a military historian to a subject not just of defeat, but dunderhead stupidity Daily Mail 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 TimesSuperb book, tirelessly researched and beautifully written - Saul David, Daily TelegraphComplete mastery of both the story and the sources - Keith Lowe, Literary ReviewAnother masterwork from the most feted military historian of our time - Jay Elwes, Prospect MagazineThe analysis he has produced of the disaster is forensic - Giles Milton, Sunday TimesHe is a master of his craft . .

. we have here a definitive account - Piers Paul Read, The Tablet
