I really enjoy the way it was written. The book was easy to follow and understand.

If you enjoyed the movie, but we're confused by much of the sub plots as I was, this book fills them in. Such an amazing piece of history that is mostly forgotten. The atrocious loss of life due to overconfidence and egos will astound. I can see why Ike would want this event buried.

This is a very detailed account of Operation Market-Garden with quotes from many participants including British, American & German leaders and also minor players. The author also includes the perspective of civilians affected by the operation. This is however not an easy read if that is what the reader is looking for.

It was hard to get the big picture of the battle, the book focused on individual participants and npt the battle.

Did not have an appreciation for Market-Garden before this book. Tons of detail and lots of great personal stories. Book did drag on about 75 percent thru. Liked the way the story was organized, but still had issues following from a point in time perspective at certain times.
Recommend checking out some videos on YouTube as a companion to the book. I did this about halfway thru and found it very helpful in gaining perspective on geography of the battles.

Incredible. Can't believe I waited so long to read this honest account of an important battle and loss. Really enjoyed it cover to cover.

Excellent historical account. Many people are unaware of the beating the allies suffered in this battle. Footnotes at the end of the chapters sometimes difficult to read and come back to the proper place in the narrative.

Awesome dub dub 2 book! Well written. It provides an intimate look into both the absolute brutality of war, and surprising instances of shar ed humanity between the Germans and Allied troops. The story was slow to pick up at times, however, well worth the read.

One of the best battle histories ever written. Anecdotally rich without losing any of its chronological narrative flow.
