The uniquely American features of the Second World War are
unforgettably inscribed through the pen of Richard Tregaskis The
Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy in 1943 were bloody and
pivotal, securing the Mediterranean, capitalizing on the overthrow
of Mussolini, and pinning down German troops that could have been
used on the Russian Front or in France after D-Day. The men who
made the Allied victories in Sicily and Italy possible - soldiers
and officers, bombardiers and drivers, doctors and generals - are
honored and remembered in these pages by fames war correspondent
Richard Tregaskis. Fresh from his memorable days in the field on
the Pacific island of Guadalcanal, Tregaskis shares an intimate and
rousing diary of the Sicilian and Italian campaigns. hotels left
standing in devastated Palermo, Sicily, to the chaotic front lines
in Italy, where he nearly died from a shrapnel wound. The gleaming
ivory grips of Gen. George Patton's pistol, the terrified face of a
soldier engulfed by the hellfire of combat, the extraordinary skill
of a military surgeon - the uniquely American features of the
Second World War are unforgettably inscribed through the pen of
Richard Tregaskis.
