Negative Positive
Title: Extremely detailed narrative
Review: In war, major battles are filled with lots of little events which make up the big picture. In George Koskimaki's second book on the 101st Airborne Division in World War II, he chronicles the division's actions during Operation Market Garden. The narrative is primarily personal accounts from paratroopers, glider troops and Dutch civilians who were there and witnessed the greatest airborne operation in history.I found the action to be very compelling, although it does bounce around a bit and can be hard to follow chronologically at times. If you've ever watched "Band of Brothers" or "A Bridge Too Far", you'll enjoy this book for it's firsthand look at what the 101st went through during their struggle to seize the bridge at Nijmegen and subsequently to hold the stretch of ground known as "Hell's Highway."
