Anzio Military History Paperback Book by Wynford Vaughan Thomas 1962

ANZIO -The landing on a thin strip of beach behind the German lines was Winston Churchill's pet project;
he called it the "Cat Claw Stroke." One of the generals who opposed him said, "There will be no survivors."

ANZIO -Allied troops hit the beachhead with what was at first total victory-only to find themselves, for unexplained reasons, pinned in a death trap...

A picked unit of 767 Darby's Rangers went out on a mission-only six came back... 

For 120 days and nights, German guns blasted the embattled beach- head... 

Sometimes 150 Luftwaffe planes strafed the tight-packed Allied lines at once...

ANZIO -Here is the book-by a man who was there through the whole nightmare-that puts the blame and the glory where it belongs. 

Here is the untold story of the battle where everything failed but courage.
