Verney, Peter Anzio 1944: an Unexpected Fury.
London B. T. Batsford Ltd. 1978 0713413239 / 9780713413236 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
265 pages, 8 plates, maps, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: " What started as a bold adventure - an amphibious landing behind the German lines to sever their communications and perhaps take Rome - ended in a contest as bitter and sustained as any in the Second World War. For Anzio was a near disaster; how near has never previously been told in such detail. In this balanced account, drawing on a wide range of unpublished sources, including much German material as well as contemporary diaries and personal reminiscences, the author creates a picture of a battle which echoed Flanders as did no other campaign in World War II. The battle for the beachhead of Anzio was a soldier's battle, fought against a stubborn, courageous and skillfully-handled enemy, and creating a camaraderie between British and American servicemen which never again reached the same pitch int eh Second world War. This is the story of those men, told in vivid detail and with terrible immediacy. He asks why the British and Americans were there at all. Was Anzio a mistake, a gamble which could never succeed? Or was it the greatest missed opportunity of the war, as some think? Could Major-General Lucas, on whom odium has been heaped since 1944, have acted differently? Or was Anzio fully justified in the broader context of the European war?" EDG_51 ; 265 pages
