520 | 3 | _aMonte Cassino was perhaps the most perfect defensive postion in Europe, its impregnable heights blocking the Allied advance on Rome. The six-month long battle for control of this position cost more than a quarter of a million dead and wounded. This book draws on first-hand accounts of veterans from around the world (forces from almost twenty nations were involved) to present the story of the battle and the experiences of those who participated in it. | |
