Arnhem book

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Looks like you have some reading to do. [:)]
I bought I never Snows in September by Robert Kershaw which deals with the German perspective of Market-Garden. It is amazing how quickly they were able to regroup after being chased out of France. Lots of good books available on 'Arnhem'

Of course the classic is "A Bridge too Far" by Cornelius Ryan, on which the great movie of the same name is based. I unfortunately got rid of the book when I moved into a Condo, but I still have the DVD of the movie. Along with the movie "Patton", it is my favorite War movie. Well "Cross of Iron" is arguably the best war movie, but I have been unable for years to find a copy.

Ryans is a superb read. Infact his is still my favorite Mg read.

I loved War without Garlands by Kershaw, however I just couldn't get through the Market Garden book for some reason.

Cross of Iron is one of my all time favourite films, though the book is even better. I'm certain it will be easy to get from Amazon.
