After the launch of Operation Barbarossa and the signing of the Sikorski-Maisky agreement, Anders was released by the Soviets with the aim of forming a Polish Army to fight against the Germans alongside the Red Army. The Polish II Corps ("Anders' Army") became a major tactical and operational unit of the Polish Armed Forces in the West. Anders commanded the Corps throughout the Italian Campaign, capturing Monte Cassino on 18 May 1944, Ancona on 18 July 1944; afterward his Corps took part in the breaking of the Gothic Line and in the final spring offensive."

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Second Printing. xvi, 319 pages. Black and white photographic plates. Maps. First reprint of the 1949 first edition. "In the great WWII Italian campaign against the German Army, the Poles played a part which gained them the admiration of their comrades and the respect of their enemies. They fought many a victorious battle alongside their Allies, but their greatest was at Monte Cassino. When the Polish standard floated proudly from the ruins of the monastery, it signalled the march to Rome." - Foreword. Hinges starting. Former military library copy with relatively few related markings to endpapers only. Somewhat above-average wear to publisher's red cloth-covered boards. A worthy copy of this proud history.
