Summary: "ALL THE WAY"
Review: This book is about the missions of the 82d though out Operation Market Garden and other battles of the war. It follows a Plt. Leader, Burris on his accounts. The book had a very different feel than other war books. Burris gives accounts that he remembers and he also gives accounts of what other parratoopers saw, giving a true and honest approach. The book covers a small part of Operation Market, remember it is just following a plt. leader and his men.
The letters he puts in the book shed a new light on things. I like the fact that the letters where not cut down and where printed in their true form.
I liked the book very much and have great respect for Mr. Burris. The book is very easy to read it is not full of all that military jargon like other books.
