Koskimaki, a World War II veteran who parachuted into Normandy during the D-Day invasion with the 101st Airborne Division, offers a You were there account of the 101st's participation in the war's Holland Campaign in 1944. The author created his account from both oral and written recollections of soldiers who were involved in the campaign to give a rare perspective on what war was really like on the ground. --Book News, Inc. Hell's Highway gives us something not covered in the other books. It tells of the Dutch people and members of the underground and their liberation after five years of oppression by the Nazis. It shares how they have never forgotten America's airborne heroes and how the 101st endangered and even sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the Netherlands and Europe.... superb job of telling the history the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Market Garden. --Kepler's Military History One might think that a book of this length would drag on because of the seemingly endless battle situations covered and documented. This is not the case with Hell's Highway and its companion volumes. The reader is carried along with the troops with an intensity that is as good as most movies. It is a study of humans under the greatest pressure responding as only the best can. It gives the reader plenty to think about and reflect upon for some time afterward. This reviewer would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in WWII ... --The Journal of America's Military Past
