Book Reviews of MAGNIFICENT DISASTER: The Failure of Market Garden, The Arnhem Operation, September 1944
Book Review: A Real Let Down
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book with great expectations but it delivered little.
Pros :
- interesting perspectives on the 82nd Airborne and 1st Airborne, 43rd Wessex Division lethargy, the significant Canadian Engineers contribution and the betrayal of the Poles.
Cons :
- appalling maps, jumbled photos, inconsistent commentary and analysis, poor prose, and without being too nerdy, calling Major Robert Cain VC of 2nd Battalion South Staffs, Major Robert McCain. Ouch!
Has to be read but it is frustrating. Buy the latest Lloyd Clark piece, Arnhem, its much better,and written with more passion.
