Waged deep in the Italian mountains beneath a mediaeval monastery, the battle of Monte Cassino was an astonishingly brutal encounter, grinding up ten armies in conditions as bad as the Eastern Front at its worst. This book provides a vivid account of how an array of men from across the globe fought the most lengthy and devastating engagement of the Italian campaign in an ancient monastery town.
