Matters_____________________From the bestselling author of Brothers
in Arms comes the story of the most pivotal Allies campaign of
World War II.With the invasion of France the following year taking
shape, and hot on the heels of victory in Sicily, the Allies
crossed into Southern Italy in September 1943. They expected to
drive the Axis forces north and be in Rome by Christmas. And
although Italy surrendered, the German forces resisted fiercely and
the swift hoped-for victory descended into one of the most brutal
battles of the war.Even though shipping and materiel were already
being safeguarded for the D-Day landings, there were still huge
expectations on the progress of the invading armies, but those
shortages were to slow the advance with tragic consequences. As the
weather closed in, the critical weeks leading up to Monte Cassino
would inflict a heavy price for every bloody, hard fought mile the
Allied troops covered.Chronicling those dark, dramatic months in
unflinching and insightful detail, The Savage Storm is unlike any
campaign history yet written. James Holland has always recounted
the Second World War at ground level, but this version telling
brings the story vividly to life like never before. Weaving
together a wealth of letters, diaries, and other incredible
documents, Holland traces the battles as they were fought - across
plains, over mountains, through shattered villages and cities, in
intense heat and, towards the end, frigid cold and relentless rain
- putting readers at the heart of the action to create an entirely
fresh and revealing telling of this most pivotal phase of the
war._____________________Praise for James Holland'Impeccably

to say.... Filled with insight and detail' Neil Oliver'James
