Early in 1944 the Allied advance was halted by the German defence of the Gustav Line. Even with the deployment of Eighth Army reinforcements from the Adriatic, every effort to capture Monte Cassino failed.Fifth Armys VI Corps amphibious landing at Anzio in January, while initially successful stalled in the face of formidable German counter-attacks and the beach-head was effectively besieged.The stalemate at Anzio and along the Gustav Line was finally broken in mid May by the Allied Spring offensive. After bitter fighting and the total destruction of the famous Benedictine Abbey, the Germans began their withdrawal towards Rome. Days later the reinforced VI Corps broke out of the Anzio bridgehead and linked up with Fifth Army units on 25 May. But by evading the Allied attempt to trap them south of Rome and despite Rome being occupied by the Allies in early June the bulk of the German 14th Army lived to fight another day. The Italian campaign had another nine costly months to run.This superbly researched account traces the course of the bitterly fought battles between January and June 1944 in words and images.

Osprey's study of Italy's Cassino campaign during World War II (1939-1945). The battle for Cassino was probably the most bitter struggle of the entire Italian campaign. The dominating peak of Montecassino crowned by its magnificent but doomed medieval monastery was the key to the entire Gustav Line, a formidable system of defences that stretched right across the Italian peninsula. This position completely dominated the Liri valley and Route 6, the strategically vital road to Rome. Between January and May 1944 the Allies struggled amid inhospitable terrain and dreadful weather to dislodge the German paratroops that tenaciously defended the vital mountaintop. Ken Ford's book details the dramatic events of the battle to break the Gustav Line.

War crime, military necessity or tragic mistake? Deceits, blunders and lies led on 15 February 1944 Anglo-American planes to bomb the millennial abbey of Monte Cassino. This book documents, above all, the role of political leaders. Hitler was primarily to blame. He ordered the abolition of the neutral area promised to the Vatican and to stand not "inside" (as some British generals in particular believed) but "under the walls". In any case, on the Gustav Line, a decisive military advantage. Unlawful. Churchill in a telegram to General Alexander urged General Freyberg's attack. Reasons, results. Then he did not speak of Monte Cassino again, officially, for years. When he did... Roosevelt said: "Military necessity". Was it really so? For Rome, used militarily by the Germans, he sent the Pope an advice. Pius XII did not protest immediately and loudly: to protect Rome. From the Secret Archives a self-criticism emerges: even the abbey could have been saved. And the rescue of the Treasures boasted by the Germans? It resulted in the theft of many Neapolitan museums masterpieces. Göring's order, and Hitler knew it. But the monks hid the Treasure of San Gennaro, right on one of their trucks.

Roger Fazendin spent the last three years of his life collecting memories from his 756th Tank Battalion brothers who survived WWII and the Battle of Cassino. Fazendin's design was to give the comrades who fought in that battle, and their families, a full picture of "what the hell went on". Battle action is fast and disjointed; each soldier's grasp of the action is limited by the intense focus required by his specific orders, hardware, and survival imperatives. This book is a collection of material from over fifty survivors, with a half dozen primary contributors, into a coherent series of narratives. The results make for riveting reading. What is unique about this book is the fact that it is written by the men themselves-not by the commanders, not by historians, not by the military. It is a record written by mature men about the thoughts and memories recorded in their young minds while they were surviving the chaos and madness of unrelenting battle in terrible winter weather. Fazendin's additions of context and historical record make for a wise and compelling assembly of the experiences of one battle. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
