As usual with Psprey books well written and researched! Great iiuisrations and maps! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ American forces in Operation Market Garden *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 18, 2014* Very nice! This short book does a nice job of discussing the American role in Operation Market Garden--the bold plan by Bernard Montgomery (who was more often not so bold) to capture a Rhine bridge at Arnhem and open the way for the invasion of Germany itself.Two American paratroop divisions--the 82nd and 101st--were assigned to play a key role in the plan. They would capture two key bridges (at Nijmegen and Eindhoven) as British troops sped (or so it was hoped) up a road that would lead to Arnhem. British paratroopers were deposited at Arnhem to hold until the British XXX Corps arrives to complete the operation.The book develops along the standard lines of the Osprey Campaign series. Opposing plans. Key leaders. Opposing forces. The fighting. The two division American commanders were top notch officers--James Gavin and Maxwell Taylor. Their troops were hard fighters. The expectation was that German forces would be wrecks from the retreat from France after D-Day. Unhappily for the Allies, the forces were more powerful than anticipated--making success of the bold plan a challenge.The book does a nice job of summarizing the American involvement within the larger plan. One issue: early maps don't show the full picture. It would have been helpful to have the proposed plan of attack laid out. Nonetheless, maps do provide a sense of the larger picture.Overall, a very useful book. . . . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bridge too far... *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2015* Seventy years on, Operation Market-Garden remains one of the controversial moments of World War II, a daring armor and airborne thrust into German-occupied Holland. It was famously a "bridge too far" in the Allied effort to reach and cross the Rhine River into Germany. Two U.S. airborne divisions helped open the way, seizing key bridges for British XXX Corps."Operation Market-Garden 1944 (1) is an Osprey Campaign Series entry, and a good one, authored by Steven Zaloga, with illustrations by Steve Noon. It focuses tightly on the battle by the U.S. 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions to seize a series of river crossing as far as Nijmegen, and on the struggle to hold open Hell's Highway in the face of unexpectedly ferocious German counterattacks. The narrative does a good job of explaining the plan and the battle. The aftermath offers a concise but very solid explanation for why the operation ultimately failed. The text is much enhanced with a nice collection of photographs, maps, diagrams and illustrations. Recommended as an excellent introduction to the battle and presumably to be followed by an additional book on British First Airborne at Arnhem. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5441975-operation-market-garden-1944-1-the-american-airborne-missions-campaign](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5441975-operation-market-garden-1944-1-the-american-airborne-missions-campaign) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
