Yep. Our Reading list from RDOA is pretty extensive. By far the best are:
  • Martin Middlebroook's "Arnhem 1944 - The Airborne Battle" Penguin London 1994
  • Robert Kershaw's "It Never Snows in September" Hippocrene NY 1990
  • P Harclerode "Arnhem: A Tragedy of Errors" Arms and Armour London 1994


plus a swag of other personal accounts by various participants.

The Battlefield Europe series is also good.

Operation Market Garden, Then and Now (736 pages, 2300+ photo's) is imo one of the best books about Market Garden.

It's pretty expensive priced at around 130 euro/ 70 English pounds, but it contains bassically all photo's made during the Operation.
