An absolutely first class read. Tells the story of Major Howard and his highly trained airbourne troops as they prepare to jump into German-held France on what will be the first engagement of the day that changed the course of World War II.Taken entirely from factual evidence and straight from the memories of the men who were there.An absorbing read,and once I opened it up,I found it nearly immpossible to put down.Who would have thought 2 little non-descript bridges would have held so much significance to the outcome of the war?
