'The last great heave of war,' according to Churchill, took place with
the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. No invading army had crossed this
great river since Napoleon's in 1805 and the task fell to Field
Marshal Montgomery's 21st Army Group. Opposing them were the forces of
a failing fascist regime, including battalions of old men and boys,
strengthened by several formations of crack troops including
paratroopers and Panzer Grenadiers. With an elaborate description of
the combined Allied attack, second in magnitude only to the Normandy
invasion, this book charts the history of the last great set-piece
battle of the war that ultimately brought the defeat of Hitler's Nazi
regime one step closer.
