About This Item
Founded by St. Benedict fourteen centuries before the tragic year, the Abbey of Monte Cassino was Europe's most illustrious monastery. During the Dark Ages it had preserved much of the West's written archive. Itself a work of art, the abbey housed countless treasures. On February 15, 1944 American bombers obliterated Monte Cassino. It was the cruelest of ironies that the Allies should destroy an emblem of the civilization they were fighting to save.
What was done that day has been disputed ever since. Was it a blunder, a military necessity or a war crime? Published on the 40th anniversary of the tragic bombing, this book finds the surprising truth behind one of the most difficult ethical decisions ever occasioned by war.
Numerous Black and white photos.
