Mass market paperback. After the disastrous failure at Arnhem and the French failure at Strasbourg, 3 months went by before the Americans under Karl Timmermann captured the bridge at Remagen. And then prestige and personal vanity seemed to require everyone to get in on the act. Did the generals' greed for publicity override strategic considerations? What was the strategic value of Montgomery's crossing between Wessel and Rees when Allied casualties were greater than those on D-Day?
