This range of battlefield histories from Casemate is, quite simply, the best of their kind around today* War History Online 21/12/2018 *
They provide an excellent overview of the battle enhanced by annotated contemporary and modern photographs… * Military Historical Society Bulletin *
This is very much a complete look at Operation Market Garden, the photos and maps show how the battle panned out, and the modern photos show in some cases how little things have changed. If you are interested in WWII history then this book is a must. For the military modeller the wealth of contemporary photos give a very good idea of how the vehicles and troops looked at this time. As with companion books on the Normandy & Ardennes Battles the Authors provided a balanced and up to date look at this important if ultimately unsuccessful battle of WWII. * Britmodeller.com *
… extremely well presented and features some excellent maps. If you are about to launch into OMG and you are looking for a good chronological guide that offers a sound campaign overview, this will do that job for you. * Despatches 02/05/2019 *
For the historian, maybe the fan of the film 'A Bridge Too Far' and especially for the battlefield visitor who wants to visit the area, then this would be an excellent book to have with you on your trip. * Military Model Scene *
While there’s plenty of text describing what’s going on it’s the copious use of photos that makes it easy to dip in and out of. * The Armourer 21/02/2019 *
This is one of the those titles that Casemate do so well: a combination of experienced authors and an excellent mix of photographs and maps. * Miniature Wargames - Chris Jarvis *
