The post-Normandy battles that the Allies fought as they struggled for seven months to advance from the Seine to the Rhine were complex and controversial. Even after 60 years, the questions remain of who was responsible for the failure at Nijmegen, the destruction of the British First Airborne Division at Arnhem, and the failure of Operation Market Garden. Could the war in Europe have been won in 1944 with better strategies?

A blatantly biased viewpoint
Revisado: 02-09-09
While I agree that many books about World War 2 written from an American viewpoint are biased, this one takes the cake on the British side. Field Marshal Montgomery certainly was one of the great leaders of the war, but this book goes out of its way to defend him and belittle the Americans. In the main, it's an enjoyable listen. But when the author launches into one of his defensive rants, then I just had to tune out. Monty needs no defense, and Eisenhower and the other American commanders certainly are undeserving of the harsh criticism leveled by the author.
