Contraportada

The Devil's Birthday was published in 1984, to considerable acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. It was the first book by a British writer to tell the full story of Operation 'Market Garden', the Allied attempt in 1944 to seize three major river crossings--including the road bridge at Arnhem, the famous 'bridge too far'-- and thus secure a back door into Germany.
