Having read several books on the subject - I really have little interest in reading another. Further, I find it hard to believe it could be significantly better than Ryan's "A Bridge Too Far" (I have an autographed first edition).
Like you I have read most of the books on Market Garden, this latest book provides a different perspective on it and is thoroughly enjoyable. The German point of view is better presented than A Bridge Too Far, for example. Your brain teaser is partially addressed in the book, although not Patton, Bedell Smith is quoted as saying he doubted XXX Corp could get up there but ours (US) might have. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
