Arnhem 1944 – The Human Tragedy of the Bridge Too Far by Dilip Sarkar MBE.

The airborne battle for the bridges across the Rhine at Arnhem ranks amongst the Second World War’s most famous actions – inspiring innumerable books and the star-studded 1977 movie. This book, however, is unique: deeply moved, the author provides a fresh narrative and approach – concentrating on the tragic stories of individual casualties. In particular, the emotive and unresolved issue of the many still ‘missing’ is explored.

‘A sobering, but excellent look at the close quarter action and the men who gave their lives fighting for their country.’ ~ The Armourer

‘The author of Arnhem 1944 concentrates on the individual casualties rather than the campaign itself, and looks at how the participants met their end in a harrowing, highly detailed account of one of the most remarkable battles of WW2. Fantastic.’ ~ Books Monthly
