Arnhem Spearhead: A Private Soldiers Story (1980) By James Sims
 
James Sims was 19 when he transferred from his artillery unit to the British 1st Airborne Division. He undergoes further paratrooper training and finds himself in the mortar platoon for his unit and making his first and only jump into Holland in September of 1944 as a part of the doomed Operation Market Garden.

Sims sees roughly 4-5 days of combat involving a mad rush to a strategic bridge and occupying positions in the surrounding village with the rest of his unit. They dig in and turn the civilian dwellings into makeshift fortresses - hunkering down and waiting for the hopeful break through by Allied armored forces.
