Klappentext zu „Arnhem “
The author of the multiple prize-winning "Stalingrad" posits that a British fascination with heroic failure has skewed the truth of the airborne battle for the bridges across Arnhem and other towns, considering overlooked Dutch, British and German sources to present a more complex reality behind the event. Beevor also finds room for lighter human moments in his record of the event, alongside the dark drama and loss that defined the main part of the action.Autoren-Porträt von Antony Beevor
