(From the publisher):
The battle for Monte Cassino was savage and long: an endless procession of horrors where the dead died five times over.
You could hear the constant thunder of the guns 170 miles away in Rome. But you could only smell the blood and terror there on the shell-pitted slopes of that holy mountain, under the pulverizing attack of the bombers. You could only feel the hollowness of fear there in the bellies of those transports as they circled in, and the paratroopers fell from the sky - into an inferno of suffering and death.
