This book was released on 1984 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the failure of the US 34th Division assault on Monte Cassino, the provisional New Zealand Corps relieved the US forces. The New Zealand Corps, in the Second Battle of Cassino (Feb 15-18, 1944), conducted an assault, supported by aerial bombardment. The aerial bombardment destroyed the monastery, but the assault failed. The Third Battle of Cassino (March 15-23, 1944), also conducted by the New Zealand Corps, was supported by a tank assault and by the most massive close air support attack attempted to date in the war. The close air support destroyed the town of Cassino but the assaults failed. With Cassino blocking the road to Rome, Alexander regrouped his 15th Army Group, heavily weighted his main effort and launched a full-scale surprise assault between Cassino and the sea. The Fourth Battle of Cassino (May 11-18, 1944) was but a small action in this 15th Army Group assault. The Poles took Cassino on 18 May 1944.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Allied forces' actions in and around Monte Cassino in Italy remain some of the most controversial of the Second World War. Adolf Hitler described them as the battles that came closest to the bitter struggles on the Western Front. The name Cassino has become a touchstone for New Zealanders as a result of the crucial role played there by Kiwi forces, and the controversy surrounding the battles refuses to die down. This reappraisal of the battles brings new information about the events at Cassino to light. The Battles of Monte Cassino is not another campaign narrative but a fresh look at some of the key aspects of the battles - the controversial bombing of the Benedictine monastery, the effectiveness of the commanders involved on both sides, the consequences of the Anzio beachhead, the performance of the Germans - and why four agonising battles were needed to defeat the Germans at Cassino.
