Krátky popis
'Utterly brilliant... this book really is the last word on the
Battle of Arnhem.' James Holland'Superb... A military historian of
originality and insight to compare with the best.' Saul
David___________Al Murray has always been obsessed by this
legendary battle, and in Arnhem: Black Tuesday he showcases all of
his knowledge, interpretation and enthusiasm to bear to tell the
story of one of history's great heroic failures differently for the
first time.The Battle of Arnhem is one of the best-known stories in
British military history: a daring but doomed attempt to secure a
vital bridgehead across the Rhine in order to end the war before
Christmas 1944.It is always written about, with the benefit of
unerring 20/20 hindsight, as being destined to fail, but the men
who fought there, men of military legend, didn't know that that was
to be their fate. By focusing on the events of one day as they
happened through the eyes of the British participants and without
bringing any knowledge of what would happen tomorrow to bear, Al
Murray offers a very different perspective on a familiar narrative.
Some things went right and a great many more went wrong, but
recounting them in this way allows the reader to understand for the
first time how certain decisions were taken in the moment and how
opportunities were squandered.Tuesday 19 September 1944 was the
terrible day which became known as Black Tuesday. From just after
1200 hours while plans were being made to seize the initiative and
optimism reigned, to the following midnight, when Arnhem was
burning and the Allied fortunes looked very different, a mere
twenty-four hours changed the course of the war.
