Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 566 pages. dj lightly faded. Whiteout on ffepFatal Decision is a powerful, dramatic, moving, and ultimately definitive nar rative of one of the most desperate campaigns of World War II. In the winter of 1943-44, Anzio, a small Mediterranean resort and port some thirty-five miles sou th of Rome, played a crucial role in the fortunes of World War II as the target of an amphibious Allied landing. The Allies planned to bypass the strong German defenses along the Gustav Line and at Monte Cassino sixty miles to the southeast , which were holding up the American and British armies and preventing the liber ation of Rome. By taking advantage of Allied command of the sea and air to effec t complete surprise, infantry and armored forces landing at Anzio on January 22 were expected to secure the beachhead and then push inland to cut off the two ma in highways and railroads supplying the German forces to the south, either trapp ing and annihilating the German armies or forcing them to withdraw to the north, thus opening the way to Rome. But the reality of one of the most desperate ca mpaigns of World War II was bad management, external meddling, poorly relayed or ders, and uncertain leadership. The Anzio beachhead became a death trap, with Al lied troops forced to fight for their lives for four dreadful months. The eventu al victory in May 1944 was muted, bitter, and overshadowed by the Allied landing s in Normandy on June 6. Mixing flawless research, drama, and combat with a bril liant narrative voice, Fatal Decision is one of the best histories ever written of a World War II military campaign. Seller Inventory # 816e
