Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tim Saunders MBE MA (1956 - ????) served in the British Army as an officer in the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment and The Rifles for over 30 years before leaving to become a full time military historian. In his second career he brings together the overlapping spheres of writing, battlefield guiding and military history film making. His intuitive knowledge of warfare and soldiers that is abundantly clear from his insightful and entertaining writing is a result, of his military training, service across the world and his operational experience.

Tim's portfolio of work is wide, with videos from Vikings to WW2 being made with Battlefield History TV and Pen & Sword Digital, variously as presenter, director and editor, His books, now totalling more than twenty title, however, are mainly focused on the Napoleonic Wars and the battles of the Second World War

Tim lives on the edge of the Army’s Salisbury Plain Training area and often finds himself writing to the accompaniment of the sound of real tanks and gunfire.

    I got this book for my boyfriend, who is a WWII freak, and a writer. He LOVES this book. Reads it a lot, uses it for his writing frequently, and raves about it. Highly recommended.

    A tight focus on what happened in Nijmegen from 17 - 24 September. It made a good battlefield walk companion when I visited Nijmegen myself.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Should Be Identified as a Travel Guide
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I was a bit disappointed by this book. It is supposed to be a look at the 82d Airborne Division in Operation Market Garden. Since my father was a member of the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment of the 82d, I was immediately interested in the book. It is more of a travel guide to the Market Garden battlefields which was a bit of a disappointment because that was not clear in the book's description on Amazon. I thought that it would spend more time on the American portion of the operation and tell the soldiers' tale of the fighting. I understand that this was indeed a British commanded operation, but I found that much of time in the book is spent on the senior command structure which was obviously British. The author is indeed British hence the slant. The book was ok but not what it was purported to be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must for fans of the 82nd Airborne
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021
    I am, Marcus A. Nannini, author of the 2019 Nonfiction Book of the Year Left for Dead at Nijmegen and read this book as part of my research. Tim actually had a photo of the patrol described in my book when they had captured a pair of older Germans who were not long for this world.
    I emailed Tim and he graciously allowed me to use the photo.
    His book contains vital information of what the hell was going on at Nijmegen. The paratrooper who is the subject of the book, when I showed him the section addressing the fire-fight where he was injured, realized why the German half-track blew to hell when he shot the machine-gunner standing through a hole in the cabin's roof. Tim's coverage of the events is exceptional and a fast read.
    Tim is a researcher of the highest order and knows how to put a story into words. GREAT WORK! Marcus A. Nannini
