On September 17, 1944 in broad daylight the Allies launched the largest airborne operation ever conducted, Operation Market Garden. The simple objective was to capture and secure a road and bridge in Nazi-occupied Holland, and provide a route into Europe. For the 101st Airborne, charged with seizing key bridges, that road became known as hell's Highway, and it saw the most savagely fought single action in the Battalion's history. This book tells the story of this battle - the planning, troop drops, the fighting at it's most desperate, and the Screaming Eagles at their most courageous. An authoritative account of this bold but unsuccessful push across the Rhine, it recounts some of the most dramatic combat of World War II. Published in conjunction with Gearbox Software's Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, it also features selected screen shots from the game, reenact or action, and a wealth of maps and period detail that bring Hell's Highway to harrowing life.
