CASSINO TO THE ALPS

Cassino to the Alps, written by Ernest F. Fisher, Jr., published in 1977 and updated in 1989. This volume continues the story of the Italian campaign with the Allied spring offensive in May 1944 which carried two Allied armies, the U.S. Fifth and the British Eighth, to Rome by 4 June and to the final German capitulation in May 1945. Represented in these armies were Americans, Belgians, Brazilians, British, Canadians, Cypriots, French (including mountain troops from Algeria and Morocco), Palestinian Jews, East Indians, Italians, Nepalese, New Zealanders, Poles, South Africans, Syro-Lebanese, and Yugoslavians. The Fifth Army also included the U.S. Army's only specialized mountain division, one of its two segregated all-black divisions, and a regimental combat team composed solely of Americans of Japanese descent.
