TANK ATTACK AT MONTE CASSINO
by Jeffrey Plowman
- Used
(Subject: World War II - Italy) An account of the Cavendish Road operation. Early on the morning of 19 March, 1944, tanks manned by New Zealanders, Indians and Americans launched a daring attack along a narrow mountain track on German positions north of Monte Cassino. So began one of the most audacious Allied attempts to break through the Gustav Line and advance on Rome, and it almost succeeded. Yet this extraordinary story has seldom been told, and it has never been told before in the vivid detail in this new account. The planning for the attack and the men involved are described in a gripping and clear-sighted way, as is the attack itself; its initial rapid success and its ultimate failure. (Published: 2020) (Publisher: Pen & Sword) (ISBN: 9781526764904) (Pagination: 194pp, numerous colour & b/w photos, maps) (Condition: new in d/w) UL-XXXXXX

Tanks manned by New Zealanders, Indians and Americans launch a daring attack along a narrow mountain track on German positions north of Monte Cassino. So began one of the most audacious Allied attempts to break through the Gustav Line and advance on Rome - and it almost succeeded. Yet the extraordinary story has seldom been told, and it has never been told before in the vivid detail Jeffrey Plowman brings to this new account. Using operational orders, combat reports, unit diaries, post-battle photos from private and public archives and the graphic personal accounts of those who took part, he describes the construction of Cavendish Road and the course of the entire operation that followed. The planning for the attack and the men involved are described in a gripping and clear-sighted way, as is the attack itself - its initial rapid success and its ultimate failure. Eighty years later Jeffrey Plowman reveals exactly what happened and…
