Reviews

'William Buckingham has written what may become the definitive account of the Battle of Arnhem ... arguments are presented in a forensic manner, reasonable judgements being set against fully referenced source material ... This is a book that pulls off that rare balancing act: it delivers serious' -- Military History Matters
'An absorbing account, with plenty of theories for readers to consider.' -- Wg Cdr J. M. Nichols
