"...highly recommended due to the excellent organization of the book, the superior writing style of the author, the excellent quality of the illustrations and b&w images, and the thorough coverage of the activities of XXX Corps in Operation Market-Garden." - IPMS / USA "The images chosen and commissioned for the book provide excellent context for the text describing the people and events that occurred. The narrowing of the book's focus to the ground assault alone allows sufficient detail of the actions to be provided that the result is very readable and informative for such a short book. It does not try to cram too much into too short a book, as some other volumes in the series have done." - AMPS
