Trapped in a cupboard with a nubile blonde nymphomaniac; crossing the Waal under a hail of fire with the US paratroops of 82nd airborne; rattling in a jeep through the Dutch countryside with the men of 1st Airborne Recce Squadron; trying to take out a self-propelled gun with a ruddy useless PIAT. Its all in a days work for Lt Dick Coward & Sgt Tom Price on their second published adventure. After the horrors of D-Day they find themselves plunged into even greater chaos & mayhem as they land in the deceptively tranquil countryside around Arnhem Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. What should be a pushover
- the ingenious scheme that everyone thinks will end the war by Christmas
- turns into Britains biggest military disaster of the Second World War. But if its a cock-up by golly is it a glorious one. Rarely if ever have Allied soldiers acquitted themselves better than the British Americans & Poles as they fought against the might of the SS in their bid to capture The Bridge Too Far. As usual Coward & Price are in the thick of it. They have to be. If Coward doesnt get a VC this time hell be booted off the family estate for good & stand no chance of winning the heart of the fickle dangerously beguiling Gina. Will he get the medal? Will he get the girl? Will Price be driven so mad by his masters Bertie Wooster-like stupidity that he ends up throttling him first?"
