About

The explosive story of World War II's bloodiest beachhead-where everything failed but courage. 'THIS IS A BASTARD OF A PLACE...' said a soldier on the Anzio beachhead. This was the bitter truth. What started as an easy victory turned abruptly into a massacre. Over 18,000 Allied soldiers were wounded and 4,400 killed in the early months of 1944. First published in 1961, this book, by a man who was there to the very end, tells the whole, shocking story.
