Anzio 1944

The beleaguered beachhead

About this book

Anzio 1944 covers the amphibious landing which has become one of the most controversial campaigns of World War II.

In January 1944, the Allies decided to land at Anzio in order to overcome the stalemate at Cassino. Questionable decisions by the Allied leadership led to three months of World War I-style trench warfare, and the entire beachhead suffered from continuous German observation and bombardment.

Vividly describing each thrust and counter-thrust, this book takes us through the agonizing struggle as each side sought to retain or regain mastery. It shows how Anzio proved to be a stepping stone not only to Rome but also to the liberation of Italy.
