Excellent account of Cassino by an officer who was
This book, written by a British office who served at Cassino, it is told in an engaging way by an author with great powers of description. Majdalany brings a powerful analytical insight for military strategy and tactics, to bear on the events of Cassino and to convey the significance of this to the layman in an understandable way.
Cassino: Portrait of a Battle was first published in 1957, 13 years after the events on the battlefield. Long enough to get a wider historical perspective, but close enough to retain the detail.
"Cassino" is written through the eyes of the combattants on the ground; often on both sides. It also shines a spotlight on the hugh egos and wanton recklessness of a few of the generals, prepared to waste troops lives for an opportunity for their own personal agrandisement.
