A Drop Too Many [#272284]
A Drop Too Many by John Frost
English | February 20th, 2019 | ISBN: 0811734862 | 337 pages | True EPUB | 10.12 MB
One of the British Army's first paratroopers recounts in vivid detail his service in the 2nd Parachute Battalion during the Battle of Arnhem and beyond . . .
No one who has read of Arnhem can fail to be inspired by gallantry of the 2nd Parachute Regiment, which held the north end of the key road bridge over the Rhine-the "Bridge Too Far"-not for twenty-four hours for which it was equipped, but for three days and four nights. Commanded by the then Lieutenant-Colonel Frost, they beat off repeated armored and infantry assaults by far greater numbers, until forced out of the ruined and burning positions by losses, lack of ammunition, and the failure of the whole Arnhem operation. Their sacrifice stands as one of the most heroic defenses of all time.
General Frost's story is, in effect, that of the battalion. His tale starts with the Iraq Levies and goes on the major airborne operations in which he took part-Bruneval, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Arnhem-and continues with his experiences as a prisoner and the reconstruction of the battalion after the German surrender.
Though written with modesty and humor, the book is shot through with the fire and determination of the fighting solider, and throws important new light on many controversies, not only those of Arnhem.
