Yes, it was about Market Garden. Very accurate historically. No excessive whitewash.

Yes, but the book is much, MUCH better.

Yes, and if you want to play and learn from one of the finest PC wargames ever made get the Microsoft\Atomic games collaboration "Close Combat - A Bridge to Far". Not only is it a fabulous tactical simulation (and nearly impossible to win as the allies), they went whole hog on adding a huge amount of Market Garden and WWII weapons and vehicle information. The follow up titles "The Russian Front" and "Battle of the Bulge" were excellent too but didn't give as much historical information.
