Airborne Influence Campaign Collection
Arnhem
Written and Narrated by Hew Pike
Operation Market-Garden was an optimistic but ill-fated attempt to bring about the collapse of the German Army in the West and to shorten the war. It involved airborne forces from 3 countries seizing a series of bridges and holding them until relieved by an armoured column moving up the road.
Too many things were badly planned or just went wrong and the German reaction was immediate and masterly. The armoured column's progress was painfully slow and, for the British and Polish airborne troops at Arnhem, theirs was indeed "a bridge too far".
D-Day (Double CD)
Brigadier Christopher Dunphie is an expert on the Normandy Landings and has lectured to hundreds of British, European and American visitors to the D-Day beaches.
In this double album he first sets the scene for the biggest invasion in history. In the second CD he takes the listener "onto the ground" to hear some of the most compelling stories from the British sector.
These are Pegasus Bridge, The Merville Battery and the two incidents arising from the landing on Gold Beach in which Sergeant Major Stan Hollis of The Green Howards won the only Victoria Cross of the day.

Falklands
Written and narrated by Hew Pike
During The Falklands War Hew Pike was the Commanding Officer of 3 PARA, for
which he was awarded the DSO. On this CD he tells his version of the story
of the war: it makes for compelling and sometimes uncomfortable listening
and gives a marvellous insight into the action from a key participant's
point of view.
"This is honest history from the horse's mouth, full of human detail and frank personal opinion... that makes you almost feel that you too are living through the war's many ups and downs." Christina Hardyment.
