Monte Cassino and its ancient Benedictine monastery formed part of the Gustav Line, the German defensive line that crossed Italy south of Rome and blocked the Allies advance to the capital. This extract from an account commissioned by the British government on two years' fighting in the Mediterranean concentrates on the first five months of 1944: the establishment of the bridgehead at Anzio, the four battles for Monte Cassino and the overcoming of the Gustav Line. It draws on official documents and sources of information, as well as on records of conversation and observation, to provide a picture that is at once informative and entertaining. The 46 full-page illustrations, many in colour, describe the horrific battles carried out over inhospitable terrain in the first four months of 1944, the destruction of what was the beautiful Monte Cassino monastery, and the struggles of the local population. Paintings by official war artists convey the horrors and record the daily realities.
