“This book is highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the Italian campaign of the Second World War, and the use of armor in that war.”—British Military History
 
The battles fought between the Allied armies and the German Wehrmacht at Monte Cassino in 1944 were key episodes in the protracted Italian campaign, and the eventual Allied victory was a decisive step in the wider war to liberate Europe from German occupation. Much has been written about Cassino, but few books have chosen to tell the story through photographs—to give a visual insight into the fighting and the forces involved, the conditions in which they fought, and the landscape around the Monte Cassino abbey which became a battlefield. That is why Jeffrey Plowman’s photographic history is of such value.
 
Using almost 200 wartime images, many of which have not been published before, he gives a graphic impression of the realities of the fighting as it was experienced by the troops on the ground. He focuses on the tanks—the array of armored vehicles deployed by both sides which played a critical role. This aspect of Cassino has rarely been covered in such detail and in such a vivid way.
 
The book will be of special interest to modelers and historians of armored warfare, but it will also appeal to readers who have a more general interest in the Italian campaign.
 
“The amount of information provided for each photograph is exceptional . . . I commend the author for building such a comprehensive portfolio of fascinating images.”—Walking the Battlefields

In questo periodo in offerta a prezzo fisso (un curioso 3,63 euro a volume) ma se comprate i libri originali li pagate 5-6 volte di più. Sintetici nei testi, riccamente illustrati. Per gli appassionati di storia militare una miniera d'oro.

Bought this for my dad who’s not much of a reader. My Grandad fought at Monte Cassino so I knew my dad would like it and hasn’t put it down since.
