"Beevor conveys a clear sense of what was happening in each fight and the knock-on consequences for the others. What’s more, the compressed time scale and limited strategic scope of Market Garden ideally suit the author’s testimony-rich approach.... Mr. Beevor is a highly accomplished architect of what the American literary scholar Samuel Hynes calls 'battlefield gothic': the nightmarish horrors and absurdities of combat which themselves become a badge of authenticity for war stories...no one could be better placed to explore these topics.” (The Wall Street Journal)

“[The Battle of Arnhem] is destined to be a World War II military history classic.... Excellent maps make the action easy to follow, and the author’s clear, quick prose makes for fascinating, informative reading.... Beevor’s superb latest offering, in keeping with his established record of excellence, is a must-read for the general military history enthusiast and the WWII history expert.” (Publishers Weekly)

“The Battle of Arnhem brings a wealth of new detail to a major World War II disaster.... Beevor brings to the familiar story a vast amount of research in German, British, American, Polish, and Dutch archives. As usual, his narrative bristles with specifics, including countless observations gleaned from eyewitnesses to every stage of Market Garden. Devoted readers of military history will enjoy the wealth of details." (Christian Science Monitor)
