This is one of the finest explanations of a combined forces 20th-century battle zone ever published. The Allies' invasion of Sicily on June 10, 1943, and the landings on the Italian mainland in September, gave them their first toehold in Europe since 1941. But it was achieved at a cost. Ian Gooderson offers a considered analysis that places the entire campaign--including the convoluted mixture of air, land, and naval actions--in context. Most important, he shows how the commanders on the battlefield dealt with the military issues as they arose. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

In common with practically all books on the Italian campaign, "A Hard Way To Make A War" is very heavily front-loaded. Roughly half the book is on the preparation for and invasion of Sicily, a quarter on Salerno, much of the remainder up to the capture of Rome, and only a few pages on the last year of the war north of Rome. This is, given the thrust of Gooderson's thesis, understandable (i.e., by the last year of the war the Allies had pretty much figured out how to beat the Germans) but still a little unsatisfying, since there was a lot of hard fighting, and and a lot of innovation and excellence there that gets glossed over.
