The end of the Second World War is in sight. Following the Western Allies' overwhelming victory on D-Day, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin are all prepared to shape the future, and Operation Market Garden is Britain's attempt to beat the Russians to Berlin and be the first to help craft the new world order. With 10,000 men dropped into Arnhem and another 20,000 in Grave, the British are set to secure the area and declare victory. However, Dutch resistance hero Christian Lindemans has other plans. Lindemans is determined to help the Germans gain the lead in the war and begins to dismantle the operation from within, betraying hundreds of Allied soldiers and changing the course of history forever. Drawn from unseen records, this is an epic story of secret missions, trust and treachery, bringing to light the murky story of one of the most influential spies of the 20th century. Show more
