Hell's Highway: Chronicle of the 101st Airborne Division in the
Holland Campaign, September - November 1944
George Koskimaki
'Hell's Highway' is a history, most of which has never before been
written. It is adventure recorded by those who lived it and put into
context by an author who was also there. It is human drama on an
enormous scale, told through the personal stories of 612 contributors of
written and oral accounts of the "Screaming Eagles" part in the attempt
to liberate the Netherlands.
George Koskimaki is an expert in weaving together individual
recollections to make a compelling and uniquely first hand account of
the bravery and deprivations suffered by the troops, their hopes, fears,
triumphs and tragedies as well as those of Dutch civilians caught up in
the action.
There have been many books published on Operation Market Garden
and there will surely be more. This book, however, gets to the heart of
the action. The "big picture" which most histories paint, here is just the
context for the real history on the ground.
Hardcover, 6 x 9, 452 pages, b/w photos, maps.
