Thumbs up Re: Market Garden Books

Although Urquhart's book was ghost-written, I've always rated it highly ; a very readable account. His opinions of fellow-officers show through as the book goes on, notably Horrocks, Browning and ( especially ) Thomas.

Wel lworth reading if you can get a copy ( not so easy these days ) is John Baynes' biography of Urquhart ( Urquhart of Arnhem, Brassey's 1993 ).
