Excellent except that he refers to artillery as .75 millimeter or .88 millimeter when they should be 75-millimeter and 88-millimeter. ( ) Book 2 of Zuehlke's 4-book trilogy on the Canadian participation in the Italian campaign. The first book detailed the events leading up to the battle at Ortona and the terrifying street fighting that took place in its ruined urban landscape. The Liri Valley describes Operation Diadem, the month-long offensive to break the German heavily fortified defensive lines south of Rome. The story here is not as inherently cinematic as Ortona, but the stakes are much higher, the scope wider, and the results more tragic. Zuehlke's writing is purely narrative, with spare description spiced up with colourful anecdotes by many of the participants in the fighting. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieCanadian Battle (2)
The second instalment in military historian Mark Zuehlke’s compelling World War II tales of Canadians overcoming insurmountable odds in Italy. For the allied armies fighting their way up the Italian boot in early 1944, Rome was the prize that could only be won through one of the greatest offensives of the war. Following upon his book about the battle of Ortona, Mark Zuehlke returns to the Mediterranean theatre of World War II with this gripping tribute to the valiant Canadians who opened the way for the Allies to take Rome. The Liri Valley is testament to the bravery of these Canadians, like the badly wounded Captain Pierre Potvin, who survived more than thirty hours alone in the hell of no man’s land. This book, like the battle it records, will live long in readers’ memories. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
