Colonel Shepperd re-assesses the Italian Campaign of 1943-45 starting with the Casablanca Conference and the assembly of the Allied Sea, Land and Air Forces for the invasion of Sicily This is the story of the breaching of Hitler's 'Fortress Europe', of Salerno and the fall of Mussolini, of the bitter fighting at Cassino and at Anzio and Alexander's dramatic spring campaign of 1944 which led to the fall of Rome and the advance to the Gothic Line.
Within the framework of the conferences between Churchill and Roosevelt in Washington and Quebec and with Stalin at Teheran, the strategy of the campaign is developed as we watch Clark's Fifth Army and the Eighth Army fight their way forward from the beaches of Sicily up the length and breadth of Italy to final victory in the Valley of the Po. This was a campaign where the soldiers, sailors and airmen of many nations and from every corner of the Commonwealth were engaged in some of the bitterest fighting in the whole of the Second World War. This is the story of these men and their commanders and of the political and strategic decisions that ruled their lives. Special attention is given to the place of the Italian Campaign in military and political history of the Second World War and to the development of Allied and inter-service co-operation, of amphibious and airborne assault and the techniques of air operations.
