This is the second volume, but the last to be published of a
trilogy - the other volumes being Smashing the Atlantic Wall and
The Battle of the Bulge. Monty's Rhine Adventure begins immediately
after the Normandy invasion with the euphoria surrounding the
belief that the war would soon be won. However, it was not to be as
easy Monty hoped. The book covers the difficult next few months as
the Allies slogged through France and Belgium fighting stern and
skilled Nazi resistance. However, the centrepiece of Monty's Rhine
Adventure is Operation Market garden - Monty's bold plan to cut
through the German defences via the eight bridges which spanned the
Dutch/German border. The book deals with the plan, its execution
and its aftermath in rigorous detail. Had Market Garden gone to
plan, it might have led to the overall defeat of the Third Reich
before the end of 1944. As it was, it was the Russians that entered
Berlin first in May 1945. Nonetheless, this period remains one of
the boldest and most exciting of the Second World War.
