    A Top WWII Read on Arnhem - a Battle so Notable but so often Forgotten
  

*by F***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2018*

One of the best WWII books that I have read in quite some time. First of all, Ryan writes in a very artful fashion - easy to read but with very rich detail and narrative with a lot of well-crafted research every step of the war. In addition to readability that is very difficult to match (to me, even superior to Ambrose), the author lays out the invasion from conception to its rather challenging conclusion. He details every aspect of Market Garden from the role of the top brass to the bravery of the Red Devils, the Polish Airborne, The U.S. Airborne (82nd and 101st) under Maxwell and Gavin, and Horrock's XXX Corp which get bogged down early in the fight. I really appreciated the individual detail to the soldiers on the ground and the anecdotes provided both at the beginning and the end (as well as what happened to them after the war if they survived). Also, there was very good detail regarding the German forces, the Dutch underground and the Dutch citizenry who were extremely helpful to the wounded of all combatants. The author does a good job in detailing the discussions about the attack between Eisenhower and Montgomery - I was surprised that Ike went along with the plan, especially as the intelligence came through detailing German SS Panzer Divisions in the proximity. The plan really did appear fanciful from the beginning but it appears that the Allies were chomping at the bit to utilize their airborne forces and drive a wedge into the Ruhr/Rhine at this critical juncture. Ryan detailed well the critical mishaps that occurred from the communications snafus to the bad weather and the inability of the various ground forces to properly coordinate. But they really did come close to achieving their objectives all things considered. However, the opportune arrival of Von Zangens troops in addition to the Hohenstauffen and Frundsberg Divisions weighed heavily on the attempt to merge "Market" with the "Garden". The combat endurance and resilience of the various airborne units was very impressive - I had previously read about the 101st in Bastogne but had less info on the 82nd and very little on the British and Polish commands. Maybe if Patton was leading the tank charge up, the outcome might have been different. Either way, actually reaching the bridges in time and before they could be demolished was risky business and the high roads did not help in regard to painting the advancing armor as super-targets. Many interesting twists and turns involved in this often under-appreciated battle. This was a very enjoyable book and I would heartily recommend to anyone.
