In September 1944, Allied troops advanced through Holland with the aim of crossing the Rhine and invading Germany. However, the disaster at Arnhem, which resulted in the last German victory, prolonged the conflict longer than expected. Antony Beevor, based on extensive documentation used for the first time, accurately reconstructs the events, offering a different perspective from that presented in previous novelized and cinematic versions. The author, through diaries and personal testimonies, revives the harshness of the war, showing the experiences of soldiers in combat and the suffering of the inhabitants of Arnhem, who were subjected to pillage and massacred by the Germans. Beevor demonstrates his deep knowledge of the war and his skill as a narrator, offering a complete and moving vision of this crucial episode of World War II.
Sir Antony James Beevor is a British military historian. He has published several popular historical works, mainly on the Second World War, the Spanish Civil War, and most recently the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War.
