In order to end the European battlefield before the end of 1944, after the successful landing in Normandy, the Allied decision-makers, who were proud of their consecutive victories, deployed more than 5,500 transport aircraft, 2,596 gliders, and more than 8,000 fighters and bombers to launch a human A joint offensive of airborne troops and ground armored troops unprecedented in the history of war, 35,000 airborne troops were dropped behind the German positions to capture the Arnhem Bridge across the Rhine... This was the Battle of Arnhem, codenamed "Operation Market Garden." It was a bold and imaginative combat operation in World War II, but it was also a major defeat suffered by the Allied forces on the European battlefield. The Allies paid a huge price for this, with casualties as high as twice that of the Normandy landings. Among the 10,000 soldiers of the British Airborne Division alone, 1,400 were killed, 6,000 were captured, and only 2,300 successfully broke through. "A Bridge Far Away: Operation Market Garden 1944" is a historical work about "Operation Market Garden". While suffering from a terminal illness, the author Cornelius Ryan devoted the rest of his life to interviewing more than 1,200 people over a period of 7 years. He searched for the historical truth and details from a vast sea of ​​diaries, letters, reports and other materials, and completely restored the entire process of this dramatic battle from planning to failure. This is a thrilling fight, a war epic that trembles the soul. The cruelty, despair, grief, and tragic heroism faced by the airborne troops who went deep behind enemy lines and were isolated and helpless were vividly written through Ryan's touching words. This was a failure of strategy, this was a feat of execution, this was the history of the nine days and nights of the Battle of Arnhem. It turned a frustrating and tragic defeat into an eternal memory and lesson for future generations. This great battle cannot be repeated, and this ancient classic cannot be rewritten. In a modern business society far away from the smoke and smoke of battlefields, "A Bridge Far Away: Operation Market Garden 1944" is still a good book that everyone should read over and over again and use for life.
