Description

No one who has read of Arnhem can have failed to have been inspired by gallantry of the 2nd Parachute Regiment, which held the north end of the key road bridge over the Rhine not for 24 hours for which it was equipped, but for 3 days and 4 nights. Commanded by the then Lt-Col Frost, they beat off repeated armoured and infantry assaults by far greater numbers, until forced out of the ruined and burning positions by losses, lack of ammunition, and the failure of the whole Arnhem operation. Their sacrifice stands as one of the most heroic defences of all time. General Frost's story is, in effect, that of the battalion. His tale starts with the Iraq Levies and goes on the major airborne operations in which he took part - Bruneval, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, Arnhem - and continues with his experiences as a prisoner and the reconstruction of the battalion after the German surrender. Written with modesty and humour, 'A Drop Too Many' paints the definitive picture of what it meant to be a member of the airborne elite in wartime told by one of 'The Greats'. SELLING POINTS: Hailed as a classic on its publication in 1980, the demand for General Frost's memoirs has been considerable. \Written by a war hero. A classic account of airborne operations of WW2. Illustrated
