The Devil's Birthday: The Bridges to Arnhem 1944 by Geoffrey Powell
English | April 3, 2009 | ISBN: 0850523524 | EPUB | 276 pages | 14 MB

Arnhem was the heaviest Allied defeat of 1944 and was the subject of the famous film A Bridge Too Far. Casualties during the battle were appalling; the brave and enduring Dutch people suffered catastrophically in the aftermath and German morale was strengthened at a time of otherwise ebbing fortunes.

This new revised edition besides being a superb history is, above all, a record of quite extraordinary courage. It is unlikely to be superseded as the standard work on a bold, gallant, yet doomed, undertaking.
