This book describes the role of GHQ Liaison Regiment, better known as Phantom, during Operation Market Garden. The information in the paper is based on considerable primary source material from former serving members of GHQ Liaison Regiment. The unit had patrols with 1 Airborne Corps HQ, Second Army HQ, 43 British Division, 1 Airborne Division, US 82 Airborne Division, US 101 Airborne Division and 52 Lowland Division. The Phantom net by 23 September provided the only Wireless link between 1 Airborne and the Second Army/1 Airborne Corps.

This is an area of Operation Market Garden which has recieved very little attention to date. The author has carried out extensive research and has brought it all together in a fascinating and highly informative way. It is clear from reading this book that the author has a 'passion' for the subject and this rubs off on the reader! For anyone interested in Operation Market Garden and in particular the actions of the 1st British Airborne Division in and around the Arnhem/Oosterbeek area, I would thoroughly recommend this book.
