The Battle of Anzio was the deciding battle for Rome, with horrific losses for the allied armies. This book gives an accurate account of those days and weeks and the horror of a battle fought in a cold, wet, mud soaked beach head against an enemy that was determined to fight and die to prevent the allied march to Rome. The men and women who fought and died on the beach and in the mine fields and on the road to Rome will stay with the reader long after the last page is read.
