About the book >.>.> This is the story of Arnhem told by the man who knows more about it than anyone else does or can do-Major- General Urquhart who commanded I Airborne Division in the operation. “There can be few episodes more glorious than the epic of Arnhem and those that follow will find it hard to live up to the standards you have set” Field-Marshal Montgomery wrote to General Urquhart after the battle was over. The military plan in North-West Europe for September 1944 was a bold one: an ambitious airdrop using British and American divisions under command of Field-Marshal Montgomery was to drive a wedge across Holland to be quickly followed up on the ground. The prize: a crossing of the Lower Rhine the isolation of large German forces on the wrong side of the river. (SP)
