Cassino '44

Five Months of Hell in Italy

Reviews

  • James Holland is now our foremost authority on the Italian campaign. He knows the ground intimately and expertly. In this gripping, beautifully written book, Holland breathes fresh life into the grim story of Cassino. Told from the perspectives of all the participants, packed with new insights and quality scholarship, Cassino 1944 makes a major contribution to our understanding of the fighting in Italy. Highest recommendation!
    John C. McManus, PhD, author of To the End of the Earth: The U.S. Army and the Downfall of Japan, 1945
