"If someone wants to read about the minute details of the tactical battle for Monte Cassino, this is also the book. The author has an uncanny way of moving from large overviews about the campaign to boots on the ground without skipping the proverbial beat. To refer this book to anyone interested in either parts of the campaign is a no-brainer. This is a very well written and detailed look at it"

A Wargamers Needful Things

Seldom was the British/American dogma of delivering overwhelming firepower (air and artillery) as a necessity precursor to infantry assault, better seen than at Monte Cassino. This book demonstrates the German response; small unit defence and where possible counter attack. The Wehrmacht doctrine of devolving tactical decision making to those who were best placed to seize tactical advantage is seen through the eyes and experiences of the author. A gem of a book.
