Superb record by Horrocks of his time (June 1944 to the Surrender) as commander of 30 Corps, one of the finest Allied fighting formations of WWII. Covers the Normandy breakouts and the action-packed drive through NW Europe. Horrocks' account of MARKET GARDEN, in which 30 Corps was effectively the spearhead of GARDEN, is a valuable addition to the Arnhem literature. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.13.
