What happens when your street is overwhelmed by a mighty battle not of your making?
A Street in Arnhem tells the astonishing story of a peaceful Dutch suburb which for 0121 2464260
nine days was brutalised and destroyed by the battle that raged through its streets.
Robert Kershaw has unearthed new research through interviews, diary accounts and
letters to show the battle not only from the viewpoint of the British, Polish and German
soldiers fighting in this street, but more importantly through the eyes of the confused
and horrified locals.
This is a compelling human story, often heart-rending, as residents struggled to cope
as their street was utterly destroyed by conflict. As the 70th anniversary of the Battle
of Arnhem approaches in September, this is a good time to reflect and remember
and, for the very first time, to look at this epic World War 2 battle through the eyes of
ordinary people, whether soldiers or civilians.
If you read Kershaw’s masterpiece It Never Snows in September you shouldn’t miss
his powerful, moving account of a struggle that still resonates across the decades.
