McManus and Hymel work through the American side of Market Garden — the 82nd and 101st Airborne plus the infantry and armour that rarely get screen time in the Arnhem-dominated narrative. Drawing on McManus's book September Hope, this covers the operational challenges those divisions faced in the Netherlands with the kind of unit-level detail you'd expect from McManus. A good corrective to the British-centric framing most listeners carry from A Bridge Too Far.
