About the book >.>.> Hell’s Highway as a historical work will make you feel as if you were there! My first encounter with the book was on an airplane on the way to Holland in September of 1988 when George Koskimaki asked me to read a chapter of his original manuscript. After one chapter I was addicted. I wanted to read one more chapter and then one more. My first reading of Hell’s Highway was disjointed because chapters arrived singly and in small multiples until I had the whole book. I have read Hell’s Highway twice in its complete form and have reached the conclusion that it is the best story of a military action I have read. George Koskimaki is a master at weaving the individual stories of the airborne soldiers with personal accounts of Dutch civilians to produce a story that could not be improved by the embellishments of a writer of fiction. This is high adventure that could not be imagined. It is told by those who experienced the airborne assault into Holland kept the highway open for the British armored drive toward Arnhem and the Dutch people who were liberated from years of occupation by the Nazi German forces. If you liked A Bridge Too Far you will love Hell’s Highway. This book tells how the “Screaming Eagles” of the 101st Airborne Division accomplished their mission by securing their assigned section of the highway to Arnhem. You will also learn from first
