The Complete Story of Operation Market Garden, 17-25 September 1944

[edwest2]

Scheduled for December from Amberley. No further details.

[Dénes Bernád]

I have always reservations when I see: "the complete story of...".
When talking of historical events, there are always information that pop up, which may (or may not) influence a particular story the way we know it.

[edwest2]

I have the same reservations but apparently, some authors and publishers do not. I do hope this trend will end since unbiased historical accuracy and not leading buyers to think that after 'the complete story' that there is no more story or no more research to be done, and that the discovery of a diary or photos or similar may still add to the story.

Always glad to see a book published on such a little covered campaign .


Next up should be a book on the seldom looked at Battle of Britain.

[Chris Goss]

...Battle of Britain? Wait until next year! I know already of one publisher who has commissioned THE book while the penny is dropping with TV companies

[edwest2]

But alas, I fear THE book will be followed by the next, revised THE book and so on.


Best,
Ed

As a publisher has told me "if I see another book with Spitfire, Hurricane, finest hour etc......" Just you wait!

[SteveR]

Because I have been permanently warped through repeated viewings of all things Monty Python and Blackadder, may I suggest the following title:

"The Finest Hour of the Spitfire and the Hurricane: The Complete Revised Secret Story of the Battle of Britain"

I'll get my coat...

Or any title with "secret", "eagles" or "Hitler's" in it …

But Nick, all those words sell books don't you know.
