It’s been many years since I read the book, but as I recall, it’s a really good read.

I’ll have to look for it in the library catalog.

Gah, my daughter was on this computer last night while we were watching the movie, and now I’m getting popup ads every few minutes and everything defaults to a Google screen. My husband will have to fix it when he gets up.

I believe you're talking about the movie "A Bridge Too Far." I'll have to keep an eye out for that movie now that I've got some perspective after spending time here in Homer's virtual classroom. Sounds like the movie was pretty accurate except for the weather. But since the success of Market-Garden seemed so dependent on the weather which also seemed a major factor in its failure, you'd like to see that part also accurately depicted.

There is a scene in which the commander of Polish airborne troops is told they can’t be dropped because of fog, but the movie hasn’t shown fog.

Oh, well ... Sean Connery and Michael Caine look cute in the sunshine.
