Publisher's Synopsis

* PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY NOW *

- Why did the Allies decide to invade Southern Italy?
- How did the weather and Italian terrain complicate the fighting?
- How did General Mark Clark's Allied Armies win the final battle?

Discover the mounting conflict and complex campaigns of the war in Italy. From Operation HUSKY to Clark's final offensive, the Allied campaign tightened the noose around Nazi Germany and saw the end of Italian Fascism, though it was at a cost of high civilian casualty and destruction.

AN EPIC OF GRIT, DETERMINATION AND SACRIFICE

Written by historian, author and broadcaster James Holland and with immersive illustrations by Keith Burns, THE WAR IN ITALY 1943-1945 is an accessible and enthralling introduction to these critical battles and their impact on the outcome of World War II

About the Publisher

Michael Joseph

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
