This is the story of Operation Market Garden, the Allied attempt to gain a bridge across the River Rhine and to advance into Germany.

This publication covers all preliminary matters, including Montgomery's decision to take the risk of projecting 1 British Airborne Division 60 miles behind enemy lines, and to attempt relief by 30 Corps along a single approach route against German opposition.

The volume covers the operations in detail - including 30 Corps, 82nd and 101st US Airborne Divisions and, of course, the battle in Arnhem itself.

This is the first time that these two papers have been made available to the public in printed form.

296 pages (A4) softbound, with 12 maps (6 A3), 2 photographic plates and orders of battle.
