    On to Italy...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013*

The Mediterranean strategy of the Allies took a critical turn in September 1943, when American General Eisenhower was persuaded to commit British and American forces to a campaign in mainland Italy.  The key to gaining a foothold was Operation Avalanche, the perilous amphibious landing by the U.S. Fifth Army at Salerno.  The U.S. VI Corps and British X Corps crashed ashore side by side, only to find a German Panzer Corps prepared to dispute every step inland.  The invasion hung by a thread for days, as both sides struggled to reinforce the fight..."Salerno 1943" is a very good entry in the Osprey Campaign Series, a concise and methodical account of a difficult battle by historian Angus Konstam.  The narrative follows the standard Osprey format, with an introduction, surveys of the strategic situation and the opposing forces, and a narrative of the actual fighting.  The text is nicely supported by maps, diagrams, illustrations, and period photographs.  Recommended to students of the Second World War as a concise introduction to a key battle in what became the Italian campaign.

    Osprey Campaign
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2013*

Another good campaign book on WW2.  Covers the Allied invasion of Sicily where the rift between US Generals and Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery first raised its ugly head to plague General Eisenhower for the rest of the war.  It is also the beginning of the invasion of Italy.  The second major combined operation incorporating beach assaults and paratrooper landings with naval and air support.  Well written.  Illustrations good.  Maps fair considering large areas they attempt to cover.  Good book.  Lead in to Salerno.
