A Brief Book Review of Cassino '44 by James Holland.
The strapline says " Five Months Of Hell In Italy" - a meticulously researched , well written account of the Allies campaign in Italy in WW2 where in 1944 they came across resistance in the Gustav line , the strongest point being the Abbey of Monte Cassino. A description of the battles of attrition that took the lives of 75,000 troops and civilians told by the perspective of various individuals taking part.
A great effort by historian , writer and broadcaster James Holland.
