«Un puente lejano» is Cornelius Ryan's historical chronicle of the Battle of Arnhem, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (639 pages, in Spanish).
It reconstructs the Battle of Arnhem, part of the 1944 Allied attempt to cross the Rhine and open the road into Germany through a major airborne drop behind German lines. The narrative alternates the perspectives of Dutch civilians, British and American officers, and foot soldiers to show an operation as audacious as it was disastrous.
Translated from English by Adolfo Martín, published in 1974 in the Los Jet collection by Plaza & Janés (no. 48). It is the second installment of Cornelius Ryan's trilogy on World War II.
For readers of military history and World War II, as well as those who want to learn about the Arnhem campaign from a human and documented perspective.
