The Battle of Arnhem: The Deadliest Airborne Operation of World War II 

byAntony Beevor

The prizewinning historian and internationally bestselling author of D-Day reconstructs the devastating airborne battle of Arnhem in this gripping new account. The argument in The Battle of Arnhem develops through archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the deadliest airborne operation of world war ii to larger questions in history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, The Battle of Arnhem preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
