THE LAST LIVING ACCOUNT FROM THE ARNHEM BRIDGE - A LEGENDARY SOLDIER'S STORY TOLD IN HIS OWN WORDS

By former paratrooper John Humphreys and bestselling author and former officer of the Airborne Regiment Stuart Tootal.

An engaging, vital, and incredibly moving read. Courage beyond measure, combined with humility that serves as a lesson for all of us. Without any other appropriate tribute – we remember them.

A powerful and authentic narrative of a soldier from the war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all the points in between.

John Humphreys was just a soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the end of the war, he had parachuted into Arnhem with the Airborne Regiment to lead the attack on the bridge. For days, Humphreys and the rest of his team held out, numerically and militarily inferior to the German army, fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender.

But the Bridge Too Far is only the tip of Humphreys' remarkable war story. Captured as a prisoner of war twice and escaping from the enemy twice to return to the Allied lines, he rejoined the fight.

At the age of 101, Humphreys began writing his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Post of Arnhem is Humphreys' final gift, and the last time we will read an account from a soldier of our Greatest Generation, witnessing this heroic and sacrificial action – narrated with incredible honesty and unyielding strength.
