Volume 2 of this two-volume history of Operation "Market-Garden" continues the story as XXX Corps links up with the 82nd Airborne at Nijmegen which leads to the dramatic and spectacular capture of the vital bridges there over the Waal river. But at Arnhem the tide of battle has already turned. The main force of lst Airborne is thrown back to the Oosterbeek perimeter, leaving John Frost's isolated force at the road bridge to fight it out till the end. As the Polish Brigade is dropped south of the Rhine, and the ground army desperately tries to relieve the beleaguered British paras, down in the south the Germans launch repeated attacks on the narrow corridor in an attempt to cut the Allied supply artery. As savage battles rage for possession of "Hell's Highway", the airborne battle is lost and on September 26 the survivors of lst Airborne are evacuated back across the Rhine..
Then and Now books and magazines have been around for a while now. I own several. The two volume series on Operation Market Garden is outstanding. These volumes are worth the price. Maps/photo's/ and history are excellent. Your getting two or three books in one.This is an awesome set to purchase the price is hight but well worth the investment. These books will be used as refernace books for wargamers and history lovers for years to come.EXCELLENT
