Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the tactical operations of the U.S. Fifth Army during the critical early phase of the Salerno landings in Italy, the first large-scale Allied invasion of Fortress Europe since the war began. The author, a military strategist present at the operation, provides a rich account of this decisive moment in World War II and an analysis of the strategic decisions and combat tactics that successfully established a foothold in Italy. The narrative covers the planning of the Salerno invasion and the challenges faced by the Fifth Army, such as maintaining a beachhead, overcoming German counterattacks, and coordinating with the British Eighth Army. The author provides insights on topics like the use of armor in amphibious operations, the effectiveness of naval fire support, and the importance of coordination between air and ground forces. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of large-scale military operations and the strategic decisions that shape the course of war.
