The plan was a bold one - unusually bold for Field Marshal Montgomery - to capture the bridges leading to the Lower Rhine in September 1944. But the cost of failure was horrendous, above all for the Dutch who risked everything to help.
Antony Beevor has found many new American, British, Dutch, Polish and German sources to reconstruct the terrible reality of this epic clash. In conversation with Dan Snow, he will talk through some of what this exciting book reveals.
Signed copies of Antony's brand new book, ‘Arnhem’, will be available on the night.
