In September 1944, Allied commanders launched Operation Market Garden, an ambitious plan to seize a chain of bridges across the Netherlands and open a rapid route into Germany. Cornelius Ryan reconstructs the campaign through military records, eyewitness testimony, and the experiences of soldiers and civilians caught in the fighting. The operation brought together one of the largest airborne assaults in history, but intelligence failures, delays, fierce German resistance, and the distance to the final bridge at Arnhem placed the mission in grave danger. Detailed, dramatic, and deeply human, A Bridge Too Far examines both the strategic decisions and individual acts of courage behind one of the Second World War’s most famous battles.
