This printondemand title is available by request from most booksellers.BOOK TWO in the Canadian Battle SeriesFor the Allied Armies fighting their way up the Italian boot in early 1944. Rome was the prize that could only be won through one of the greatest offensives of the war. Mark Zuehlke, following his book, Ortona, returns to the Mediterranean theatre of World War II with this gripping story of courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.The Liri Valley was a long, flat corridor through miles of rugged mountains. At one end stood the formidable Monte Cassino, at the other, Rome. In May 1944, I Canadian Corps drops up this valley toward the Italian captial, facing the infamous Hitler Line a bastion of concrete bunkers fronted by wide swaths of tangled barbed wire, minefields, and Tobruk weapon pits. The ensuing battle resulted in Canada s single bloodiest day of the Italian campaign. But the sacrifice of young Canadians during the twentyfour days of relentless combat it took to clear the valley paved the way for the Allies to take Rome.The Liri Valley is testament to the bravery of such Canadians as Victoria Crosswinning Jack Mahony, Panzer killer Private J.A. Thrasher, and the badly wounded Captain Pierre Potvin who survived more than thirty hours alone in the hell of no man s land. This book, like the battle it records, will live long in reader s memories.
