The Devil's Birthday

Reviews
Review this book!
On Jul 31, 2012, GeoffB said
This is one of the better written accounts of a battle about which I thought nothing more could be written, and gives a good account of the ground drive on Arnhem. The matter of why the U.S. Division dropped on Nijmegen did NOT obey their orders to "sieze the bridges with thunderclap suprise" on the first day is also raised and analysed. (This is probably the main reason for the failure of the operation.) Required reading for anyone with an interest in the Battle for Arnhem
