Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 240 pages. Text tanned.An account of heroism and courage in o ne of the Allies' biggest military catastrophes of the Second Wor ld War. Ideal for readers of James Holland, Anthony Beevor and Co rnelius Ryan. Ten thousand Allied troops landed in the Netherlan ds in September 1944. This was the largest airborne invasion eve r undertaken and it ended in utter disaster. Eight thousand men were killed, wounded, or captured during the Battle of Arnhem. Y et, what of those who escaped? And how did they manage it when s urrounded by German troops? Leo Heaps' remarkable book The Grey Goose of Arnhem charts the activities of two hundred and fifty me n who, with the aid of Dutch Resistance, made it back across the Rhine to Allied lines. As a member of the First Airborne, Heaps draws from his own experiences as a soldier who fought, evaded ca pture, and then returned to work with the Dutch Resistance, for w hich he was awarded the Military Cross, as well as using material from private diaries, letters, and interviews with about forty p aratroopers and Dutch Resistance leaders to record a thorough acc ount of the most amazing mass escape of World War Two. These men never gave up in the face of insurmountable odds. Indeed, as Hea ps explains, rather than stay within the safety of allied lines, some of these men returned to the frontlines to assist the Resist ance and ensure that as many of their comrades returned as possib le. The Grey Goose of Arnhem is a brilliant account of heroism that weaves together the accounts of numerous unforgettable chara cters to provide insight into what the Battle of Arnhem and its a ftermath was like from those who saw it first-hand. Heaps' narra tive of the captures, escapes and evasion (including his own) aft er the battle is well constructed. . The tension of the moment is tautly recreated. The conclusion is exciting and rewarding. It is a valuable addition to the record of the gallant First Airbor ne Division. Infantry Journal. Seller Inventory # 94u
