Beschreibung

8vo, pp, 115, frontispiece, yellow titled green cloth, pictorial unclipped dust jacket which has some tears and has been repaired, early newscutting pasted to the inside front flap, some foxing to the fore-edge. In 1944 the german army paid St Benedict the military compliment of making his Abbey not only an almost impregnable fortress but the actual pivot of a massive system of defences. It took six months of the war's most bitter and bloody fighting before it fell. Here is the story of the last assault by an officer who played his own part in it - a story of men of many nations who fought at Cassino under the menacing shadow of St Benedict's Historic Abbey.
