All previous published accounts of Operation Market Garden end the main story with the evacuation of the British airborne troops from Oosterbeek which obscures the fact that Operation Market Garden at that time was still to be regarded as essentially a great success. It was only due to the following development of events (including the battle at Overloon in October 1944) that meant that the strategic success of Operation Market Garden could not be utilized to end the war before the turn of the year 1944. This is a story that has never been told before, and which is described and analysed in detail in the concluding Volume 2 of Christer Bergströms Arnhem 1944.

Christer Bergström enjoys the reputation of being one of the world's foremost experts on the Second World War. He has published 31 books on the subject, most of them in English. Through his in-depth research work, he has moved the borders of our knowledge forward in many fields including: the Ardennes offensive, the Battle of Britain, the Eastern Front.

Military-historian Christer Bergström treats the source material with excellence and puts common images and myths of this battle into question. An extensive source and note list, photos, fact boxes, QR-coded film and sound clips supplement the text of this impressive work in two volumes about operation Market Garden. In summary brilliant.
