"Thoroughly researched Neillands' volume has a place in any collection
serving World War II history students and buffs."--Booklist
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 sixty
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?
Historian Robin Neillands gets to the truth of what really happened. He examines the
often difficult relationships between the Allied generals and the nature of Eisenhower's
exercise of his role as Supreme Commander. With superb battle narratives throughout
and clear analysis of success and failure at every point, the author casts a new and
informed light on the long-drawn-out and costly struggle for the Rhine.
Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library. Since audiobooks are portable and in music file format such as Mp3 or WMA the space that’s really being used up is your hard drive which takes up a minuscule amount in comparison. So for the busy individual where free time is somewhat of a luxury, audio books may just be the solution you have been looking for, a way to combine free time and work effortlessly. |
