An ambitious plan, a looming fortress, a devastating
battle...Famous for its ancient hilltop monastery, Monte Cassino
achieved a new and grimmer renown in the Second World War when it
became a German bastion against the Allied advance through Italy.
Even in February 1944, when the abbey buildings had been reduced to
rubble by aerial bombardment, the mountain itself continued to
command the adjoining river valleys and to block the road to Rome.
Cassino had to be taken. Frontal assault had proved a costly
failure, but now the highly ambitious Brigadier Heathfield had
devised a plan for an outflanking operation. Total victory, or
total defeat, could hinge on this single mission. A stirring and
powerful thriller concerning the final years of the Second World
War, perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean, David McDine and Jack
Higgins.
