Few battles compare with the famous, bitterly fought, and controversial World War II conflict at Cassino, where German forces determined to prevent the Allies from reaching Rome. A former infantry office, who took part in this encounter relates its agonizing history, from the highest level down to the actions of individual soldiers, including the disagreements between British and American commanders and the crucial impact of Italy’s geography.
