8vo., Revised Edition, with plates, maps in the text and endpaper charts; green cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper.
Revised version of one of the best modern accounts of both ground and airborne components of MARKET-GARDEN (and a worthy complement to Ryan). Powell served thoughout the battle and was one of the lucky ones; he escaped back across the Rhine on 25 September. As 'Tom Angus' he wrote 'Men at Arnhem' (1976). Enser, p.13 (recording the first edition).
