One of the bloodiest European battles of the Second World War was
that from January to June 1944 for the Gustav Line, anchored on
Monte Cassino, famous for its Benedictine Abbey. Better known as
the Battle of Cassino, the campaign only ended when Rome was
liberated. With General Sir Harold Alexander in overall command,
the Allied Army Group in Italy, consisted of Fifth (US) and Eighth
(British) Armies. Both were truly multi-national with some 20
allies nations involved. The book recognises the contributions of
all elements and flags up the inevitable national tensions and
rivalries exacerbated by restrictions of terrain and weather.
Allied commanders, using ingenuity, highly effective artillery and
sophisticated close air support, finally triumphed over their
formidable German adversaries. Cassino: January-June 1944 examines
the campaign from the political/strategic levels to the tactical,
using official records, accounts from commanders and participants,
including interviews. The Author has conducted many battlefield
studies and written extensively on the War in Italy.
