BATTLE FOR THE RHINE 1944: Arnhem and the Ardennes: the Campaign in Europe

Incisive and insightful account of the post-Normandy liberation of western Europe from one of our best military historians. Tells of the wars between the Allied commanders as well as the actual fighting on the ground. Compelling.

The late Robin Neillands was one of our most prolific and accomplished military historians. In this account of a key episode as the Second World War in Europe drew to an end, he reconstructs the whole course of the campaign in the autumn and winter of 1944 as the Allies battled their way into Germany. Beginning with the disaster of the airborne attempt to turn the German flank in Holland at Arn hem, he recounts the whole course of the campaign, including the actions at Nijmegen, the Channel coast, the River Sc heldt; Aachen; the German counter-offensive in the Ardennes in December, and the final crossing of the River Rhine itself. Neillands asks uncomfortable questions about the war between the Allied Generals - including the roles of Montgomery, Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton - and their conflicting plans for securing a quick victory. From the war plans of the Generals to the battles on the ground, this is an incisive and insightful re-telling ot rhe vital campaign that preceded final victory.
