highly recommended
Ryan's best book.
Illustrative history from the old school. Collect as many 1st hand eye-witness stories as possible. Boil it down from your dream of 1,000 pages, to a more manageble length and you have one of the best historical documents ever written. Ryan tells us how the first modern war was fought. Combined arms war
far
e, culture clash between the British and their American cousins, Disputes between high officiers it's all here. Triumph, tragedy, disaster, all are covered in this highly readable book
So in depth you feel as though you are in control!
Unlike many WWII books, "A
Bridge
Too
Far
" leads you into the battle. With the number of 1st hand accounts Mr. Ryan found, we are able to actually feel what MANY men were feeling. Also included are actual battle accounts from high ranking Germans (something not easily found)!

The best non-fiction book I've ever read
A
Bridge
Too
Far
is a page-burner. Be forewarned, if you start this book you will have to budget time to finish it. The true story of the biggest Allied blunder in World War II, Ryan's work is is more gripping and readible than any of Clancy's overblown comic books
A very comprehensive portrayal of human courage.
This is one of the most comprehensive and detailed history texts that I have ever read. However, the details are secondary to the first hand accounts of the courage and determination of the airborne troops.
Non-fiction to perfection
I can't say enough about Mr Ryan's works - his histories read like fiction - in other words, highly readable, interesting and easy to follow. They hold up well despite their age. The true personal stories are woven into the work beautifully but unlike some "eyewitness" history books, the overall story is not lost. I have read this book several times and have enjoyed it every time.
