Anzio: The Bid for Rome (Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II: Battle Book, No. 15)

160 pp. Includes black-and-white photographs. "'The Beach Head has become a Death's Head'; the German propaganda leaflet told nothing but the truth. Fatal indecision led to months of loss and pointless bloodshed in the winter of 1943-44. 'The Allies,' Kesselring triumphantly recorded, '...missed a uniquely favourable chance of capturing Rome.'"
