Jump into one of the legendary fights
‘Arnhem: Ten Days in The Cauldron’ tells the story of the famous WW2 battle from the perspective of soldiers and also civilians in the thick of the fighting. The reader is plunged into combat from the sky to the ground, from the cellars to the attics.
The struggle takes place on the Landing Zones and Drop Zones, in the gardens, woodlands and suburbs of Oosterbeek, in the streets and buildings of Arnhem town. It is an epic fight to liberate the people of The Netherlands from Nazi occupation and enable an Allied attack deep into the Ruhr.
