About This Item
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: J.J. Fedorowicz, 2003. 545pp with 300 black and white photographs, 24 (mostly full-page) maps and 20 detailed appendices. In September 1943 the Allies landed on the Italian mainland, the so-called "soft underbelly" of Europe. Their aim was to knock Italy out of the war and rapidly conquer the country. However, the Italian campaign was one of the toughest of the war. The Germans, under the inspired leadership of Albert Kesselring, mounted a tenacious and skillful defense in the mountainous terrain. Some of the most brutal battles of the Western Front were fought in Italy, most notably the battles for Cassino which lasted nearly six months. The German forces in Italy did not surrender until 2 May 1945 only 6 days before the end of the war in Europe. New. First Edition. Illustrated Boards. New/No Jacket Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
