The Battle of Anzio was among of the most bloody of the World War
II conflicts. T.R. Fehrenbach's accurate account stunningly depicts
the reality of the Allied forces' fight for survival on an Italian
beach as they stormed what Winston Churchill called the soft
underbelly of the Axispowers. In one of the tuing points of the
war, the allies clung to a narrow strip of sand while German planes
swooped in from above and artillery shells and mortar fire pounded
them on the ground. This is a true and dramatic account of the
battle from the perspective of a soldier and military historian,
told with pride, compassion and spirit. T.R. Fehrenbach's account
of war needs no embellishing and brings you into the thick of the
action.
