Resumen del Editor

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Arnhem by Antony Beevor, read by Sean Barrett.

On 17 September 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out onto his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power.

Operation Market Garden, the plan to end the war by capturing the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine and beyond, was a bold concept: the Americans thought it unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery. But could it ever have worked? The cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch, who risked everything to help. German reprisals were pitiless and cruel and lasted until the end of the war.

The British fascination with heroic failure has clouded the story of Arnhem in myths. Antony Beevor, using often overlooked sources from Dutch, British, American, Polish and German archives, has reconstructed the terrible reality of the fighting, which General Student himself called 'The Last German Victory'. Yet this book, written in Beevor's inimitable and gripping narrative style, is about much more than a single dramatic battle. It looks into the very heart of war.

Simply brilliant!

For anyone familiar with Antony Beevor’s other books: here he is at his best.

For anyone who has not read them and has an interest in military history: this book is a must!

Well Told Story of The Battle of Arnhem

A major battle of World War 2 which the allies lost for various reasons the book highlights. The plight of the Dutch people during the occupation by German forces and after the batrle is well told. A good book worth reading if you are interested in military matters and this battle.

Very good description of the battle and background

Very good description of the battle and background with a sprinkel of personal stories.
Not too gory but precise depiction of an sometimes horrifying situation/situasjons.
Good narrator, quite dry but likable good and precise.
