largest land battle and was fought over six months with over
350,000 casualties. Matthew Parker combines detailed archival
research with hundreds of veterans' interviews to give us the
definitive account of this hellish conflict." -- James Bradley,
Author, "Flags of Our Fathers & Flyboys"
"Few people today realize that British and American soldiers fought

Army." -- "Daily Telegraph"

your heart ache." -- "Irish Independent"
"Monte Cassino, perhaps the most interesting campaign of all . . .
[a] moving and well-researched book." -- "Economist
