Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1963. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. Possible former library copy - ink stamp on title page, pocket remains on rear free endpaper. Light stains on page ridge. 1963 Hard Cover. 212 pp. Anzio, a small town a mere hour's drive from Rome, became a battleground on which both Allies and Germans paid a bloody price. Planned by Churchill as a swift amphibious flanking maneuver, the 1943 battle of Anzio has been viewed by some as one of the most ill-conceived tactical operations of the Allied war effort, and by others as one of the war's singular lost opportunities. Blumenson examines the actions of the men involved, including Churchill, Eisenhower, Clark, and Montgomery, and takes into account records from Allied and German sources.
