This was one of the best war stories that I have read - and of course I like the movie by the same name a lot too.

I was disappointed in this book in that it lacks comprehensive diagrams of the towers and the bridge. I was hoping for a larger book with more illustrations and diagrams.

I was also hoping for more historical information and pictures of the history of the bridge. They have never rebuilt the bridge and today the towers house a museum, but not sure which side of the Rhine the museum is in or if it occupies both sides.
