In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to World War II by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants. However, a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and worse weather led to disaster.An epic retelling of World War II's most tragic blunder, A Bridge too Far meticulously depicts the ambitious plan which resulted in more Allied casualties than the entire Normandy landing.
