Description

Of all the campaigns in World War II, none provided a more exacting test of generalship than the Italian. Its object was to tie down German forces, and this demanded continual offensive action against a highly skilled enemy in terrain which offered superb facilities for defense in depth. To achieve their daunting task, the Allied generals needed to be masters both of tactics and man management. After a sketch of the earlier fighting at Cassino and Anzio, this book concentrates on three important battles that have not received the attention they deserve.
