Cassino New Zealand Soldiers in the Battle for Italy By Tony Williams.

Publisher: Penguin Books (NZ), 2002, first edition.

Very good softback, no inscriptions, tanning to pages. 285 pages with photos.

An account of the last major battle of World War II involving New Zealand troops - the battle for Cassino. It was one in which New Zealand soldiers fought hand-to-hand in the rubble with great bravery and their stories are a critical part of the book. There is also controversy surrounding this battle, which continues today. The great Italian medieval monastery of Monte Cassino, once a great repository of European civilisation, was destroyed by the Allies in the battle to save it.
