Summary

The Devil's Birthday by Geoffrey Powell

One of the most celebrated accounts of Operation MARKET GARDEN. It has achieved the status of a classic and is now republished with corrections, additions and amendments by the author, who himself fought at Arnhem. This new edition, besides being a superb history, is above all a record of quite extraordinary courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
