The Battle for Italy

By W.G.F. Jackson

General Jackson's single-volume history chronicles the entire World War Two Italian campaign, from the invasion of Sicily to Germany's surrender in the Po Valley. This often-underestimated two-year conflict featured fierce battles like Monte Cassino, Salerno, and Anzio, alongside intense strategic disagreements among Allied leaders (Patton, Montgomery, Clark, Eisenhower, Churchill, Roosevelt) and Axis commanders (Rommel, Kesselring). Offering a dual perspective, Jackson meticulously details the moves, countermoves, and blunders from both sides. This authoritative account is enhanced by nearly 100 maps, photographs, and seven appendices, including a day-by-day chronology.
