Sorry, Friedrich - I missed your earlier post.

Urquhart's 'Arnhem' is a classic book and absolutely essential reading about the battle.

Please keep in mind that it was written in the 1950's and therefore doesn't have the benefit of later research ; one or two 'Arnhem myths' appear in this book and, because they were included here, persisted for a long time.

The book was of course partially 'ghost-written' by Wilfred Greatorex but even so, one feels the personality of Urquhart and maybe realise why he didn't rise to greater command post-war : he's quite forthright in his opinions of fellow-officers eg Browning, Horrocks and Thomas ( his comments about the latter are especially pungent ! )

It's a great book - you'll enjoy it !
