OPERATION MARKET GARDEN, 17-25 SEPTEMBER 1944

This bold plan was unfortunately flawed and the execution imperfect, and the Germans were far from beaten. In spite of the audacious actions of the Paratroopers who would cover themselves with glory, Operation Market Garden showed that the German ground forces would still provide the Allies with stiff opposition in the West, as this stunning survey shows. Fully illustrated, some in color.
