Jack Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The Road To Arnhem Donald R Burgett Pages 244 4 pages of images ISBN 0440236339 Just having finished Currahee, The Road To Arnhem is the next book from the stable of Don Burgett: In this electrifying memoir, Donald Burgett takes us into seventy two days of close quarter combat in foxholes and towns against brutal Panzer counterattacks and into the face of the feared German 88mm artillery as the Screaming Eagles push straight into the might of the German Army. Capturing the horror and confusion of war, as ally and enemy move within yards of each other, Burgett tells the story of a legendary fighting units bloody victory - in an epic battle for "a bridge to far". I am looking forward to reading this account and I hope it is as good as Currahee. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I liked the book a lot but the contant complaining on Montgommery in the end is a bit unfair imo. But that was what the soldiers then felt so with that in mind it fits into the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
