SECOND UPDATED EDITIONInterest in the battlefields of The Great War has increased exponentially in the last ten years and credit for this must rest in large measure on the shoulders of Major and Mrs Holt. Not only did they pioneer the concept of 'Battlefield Tour' holidays but their books, of which this is the latest, have long been regarded as the bible for tourists making the pilgrimage to the scenes of battles whether in Flanders, Normandy, Gallipoli or Arnhem. The Holts have researched a much wider book than their earlier Somme and Ypres Guides and this is the first part of the results of their labours. The second covering the Southern battlefields is now available.NEW, FULLY UPDATED EDITION

Major and Mrs Holt need little introduction. Not only did they pioneer the concept of battlefield touring, building up the Company that still bears their name but they have written numerous books which include their unrivalled Leo Cooper guidebooks to the Somme, Ypres, Normandy and Gallipoli. Market Garden is the fifth in this hugely successful series. Other works include My Boy Jack and The Better 'Ole, their life of the world famous cartoonist Bairnsfather. They live at Sandwich, Kent.
