    This one arrived today. It examines how the city of Arnhem has changed since it was virtually destroyed in 1944 and 1945. It contains numerous photos which show the destruction caused during the war and how the city was rebuilt and remodelled in the years afterwards and yes, it IS in Dutch only :p.
    All the best................

    The one on St Elisabeths hospital contains only 2 small pages on the battle, not really worth it (from a battle of arnhem perspective).

    Daan, do you know if the one on bunkers has a battle of arnhem perspective? I think not, when I read the description.
    Thanks, Paul

    Paul, it's more an historical book with overview on the events that happened. Nothing in depth about the Battle itself.
