The race by Montgomery's ground forces, principally 30 (British) Corps, to relieve the US & UK airborne troops at Nijmegen and Arnhem respectively has been the subject of fierce controversy since that dramatic summer of 1944. In the first of three books covering the Battles on the road to Arnhem, experienced author and tourguide, Tim Saunders, describes the US 82nd Airborne Division's daring seizure of the Grave Bridge and their battles for the Grossbeck Heights, and the struggle for the vital Nijmegen Bridge. At the same time he covers the Guards Armoured Division's desperate efforts to link up on the ground. This is a thrilling story of a major chapter in the Allie's advance in 1944.

"The Nazis Next Door: How America Became a Safe Haven for Hitler's Men" by Eric Lichtblau exposes the truth about the Nazis who were welcomed into the United States and given safe harbor. I knew that some Nazis were brought to the United States because of the valuable information and knowledge they had in science, medicine, military, engineering, and so on. As I read this book I found that there were many, many more who were given admittance to the United States to weave their way into the tapestry of the US population and basically disappear. They found a safe place to hide in plain sight. Regardless of the unthinkable war crimes these Nazis committed, the FBI and CIA turned a blind eye to their crimes.
This book is very well researched and written. It's not one of those books filled with facts that are great to know but the reading so dry you lose interest. This is a book that held my interest from the first page to the last. It's a book that left me feeling very unsettled and even more distrusting of our government, the CIA, and FBI.
