Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-29 00:00:00 Danny Baldwin History shouldn't always be written by the winner, least of all the history of warfare. In the case of Market Garden I must say that the enemy view helps a LOT in understanding the pockets-on-a-string nature of the engagement. Plus, Robert Kershaw can write . By the standards of military history, he's entered my list of authors whose 'turds still are a fun read'. True to their training Kampfgruppen and assorted groups of German soldiers too motley to deserve the name rushed in to contain the airborne landings asap, wrestling the initiative away from the attackers by "grabbing a corner of the towel" in the best Prussian tradition. A compliment to any Arnhem array.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-22 00:00:00 Jay Gotery Having read a few books about Operation Market Garden, this book was great as it gives you the other side of the battle from the Germans' perspective. It covers all the units, troop movements and engagements and is very well researched and detailed. But, at times it gets too detailed and the book losses momentum because of this. Still a good book and brings a lot to the Market Garden reading table.
