Inhaltsangabe

Operation MARKET GARDEN guides visitors to the battlefields of a daring plan for the largest airborne drop in the Second World War. Three Airborne Divisions (American 82nd and 101st and British 1st) parachuted behind enemy lines to capture and hold key river and canal bridges. An armoured column raced across the Netherlands on a single narrow highway to secure the crossings. The effort was defeated at the critical bridge at Arnhem resulting in the destruction of the British 1st Airborne Division. The guide provides battle summaries, descriptions of museums, relics, battlefield locations, driving and in-city walking tour routes complete with GPS co-ordinates, and individual stories of men engaged in combat.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Robert J Mueller caught the battlefield bug when, as a child, he visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. During his long career as an executive with a major international corporation, Robert Mueller developed a love of travel and an enthusiasm for visiting historic locations. Retirement brought him the opportunity to visit and study the battlefields of Europe. He has written six visitor guides to the battlefields of Northern Europe and Hawaii under the Fields of War imprint. The titles have garnered eleven national book awards including being twice honoured by the Military Writers Society of America. His descriptive format brings the history, significance, and people of the battlefield to life. He holds advanced degrees in physics and business administration.
