Volume 2 of this two-volume history of Operation "Market-Garden"
continues the story as XXX Corps links up with the 82nd Airborne at
Nijmegen which leads to the dramatic and spectacular capture of the
vital bridges there over the Waal river. But at Arnhem the tide of
battle has already turned. The main force of lst Airborne is thrown
back to the Oosterbeek perimeter, leaving John Frost's isolated
force at the road bridge to fight it out till the end. As the
Polish Brigade is dropped south of the Rhine, and the ground army
desperately tries to relieve the beleaguered British paras, down in
the south the Germans launch repeated attacks on the narrow
corridor in an attempt to cut the Allied supply artery. As savage
battles rage for possession of "Hell's Highway", the airborne
battle is lost and on September 26 the survivors of lst Airborne
are evacuated back across the Rhine.
