A Bridge Too Far Audiobook

" Wonderful work on a failed battle. "

" An interesting book about the liberation of Holland in WW2. Filled with first hand accounts. "

" See it if you love war movies and then read the book so that you can understand the concept of what is to go-on in the storyline. Very complex and mundane of the sentiment of war one feels like what dregs are unleashed upon troops and civilians alike: pure Hell. There is even a suprise Spitfire lawn-mowing scene with the fighter plane getting a close look at a bicyclist on a road. "

" I've only read one war book before, but loved the film. As usually, the book was richer but lacked none of the suspense. Great. "

" If anything this is even better than The Longest Day. "

" I remember ready this, traveling through Italy on a cozy sleeper car "

" Portrays Montgomery as an overrated idiot. Four stars. "

" One of the more interesting events on the western front. "

" This is one of the best accounts of WWII, or combat operations in general that you can read. The story is incredibly well written, from the best human perspectives, and superbly researched. A purely fictional novel could not make a better story or read any better than this book. "

" Maybe the best World War II novel. "

" It just wasn't worth the month long investment I was going to have to make. I've seen the movie (awesome!) so I know how it ends. I'm going to save my energy/focus for The Last Battle, which will be my last Cornelius Ryan read. "

" I only seem to like WWII books when they are written by Cornelius Ryan. I try to like those written by others, and don't find them half as engrossing. "

" Amazing account of Operation Market Garden. Easily readable with accounts of all of the individual actions and forces involved. Highly recommended. "

" Read this many years ago as a teenager. My dad and I share a love of military history and he passed this on to me. Very riveting even for a teenaged girl. "

" Really rather embarrassed at not having previously read this. Fantastic read. I knew that Operation Market-Garden was a failure, but I didn't realize just how massive a failure it truly was. "

" Another fantastic WWII book by Cornelius Ryan. While I think this book is even better than The Longest Day, it is a much more somber read knowing the outcome of the battle, and how so many little things could have gone differently and affected a different outcome. "

" Well-told, detailed history from multiple perspectives - Allied and Axis, officers and enlisted men, military and civilians. The author was a journalist in the war and it shows in his use of testimony from interviews. "

" History of the biggest airborne assault failure....in Northern Europe WWII "

" Excellent recounting of a little-known WWII battle. It's long, though, and the plot is pretty dense. "

" outstanding telling of the biggest airborne drop of the war and why it failed so badly, besides the fact that Montgomery was a complete idiot "

" An historical account of Operation Market Garden, at the height of WWII in mainland Germany, provides a narrow but precise insight into a very large war . "
