Mr. Ryan does a grand job of introducing us to the men involved in this operation, from the generals down to the cooks. The only trouble is that this is the largest operation of World War II and there are just too darn many of them to keep straight. So you just have to slog forward (somewhat like they did) and trust in the author. With that in mind, you are treated to the grand sweep of the plan, the infeasibility of key parts of it and the personal cost and valor involved in attempting it. Good maps and photos, too. Tras el desembarco de Normandía los Aliados liberan Francia y Bélgica, los alemanes huyen despavoridos hacia Alemania. El Mariscal de campo británico Bernard Montgomery diseña un plan para acabar con la II Guerra Mundial en el año 1944 (un año antes de su verdadero final). El plan que llevaba el nombre clave de Market-Garden tenía dos partes, la parte Market donde 35.000 hombres serían lanzados el 17 de Septiembre de 1944 en paracaídas sobre Holanda (Todavía ocupada por el ejercito alemán) y una vez allí apoderarse de un número determinado de puentes para permitir que tropas terrestres (esta es la segunda parte del Plan, llamada “Garden”) pudieran llegar desde Bélgica, atravesando Holanda , hasta Alemania. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: The classic account of one of the most dramatic battles of World War II A Bridge Too Far is Cornelius Ryan's masterly chronicle of the Battle of Arnhem, which marshaled the greatest armada of troop-carrying aircraft ever assembled and cost the Allies nearly twice as many casualties as D-day. In this compelling work of history, Ryan narrates the Allied effort to end the war in Europe in 1944 by dropping the combined airborne forces of the American and British armies behind German lines to capture the crucial bridge across the Rhine at Arnhem. Focusing on a vast cast of characters??from Dutch civilians to British and American strategists to common soldiers and commanders??Ryan brings to life one of the most daring and ill-fated operations of the war. A Bridge Too Far superbly recreates the terror, suspense, heroism, and tragedy of this epic operation, which ended in bitter defeat for the Allies Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
