Arnhem 1944 -- An Epic Battle Revisited: Volume II: The Lost Victory -- September-October 1944

This is a completely new take on Operation "Market Garden", based on the newest and most comprehensive research into primary sources to date on this epic battle. All previous published accounts of Operation "Market Garden" end the main story with the evacuation of the British airborne troops from Oosterbeek - which obscures the fact that Operation "Market Garden" at that time was still to be regarded as essentially a great success. It was only due to the following development of events (including the battle at Overloon in October 1944) that meant that the strategic success of the operation could not be utilized to end the war before the turn of the year 1944. This is a story that has never been told before, and which is described and analysed in detail in the concluding Volume 2 of Christer Bergström's Arnhem 1944. This book is a must-read to anyone interested in Operation "Market Garden", and who does not want to miss out on newly-revealed knowledge of this fascinating sequence of the Second World War.Christer Bergström enjoys the reputation of being one of the world's foremost experts on the Second World War. He has published 31 books on the subject, most of them in English. Through his indepth research work, he has moved the borders of our knowledge forward in many fields - e.g. the Ardennes offensive, the Battle of Britain, the Eastern Front. Now the turn has come to Operation Market Garden.
