"In one blood-soaked, furious week of fighting, from December 20 to December 27, 1943, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division took Ortona, Italy, from elite German paratroopers ordered to hold the medieval port town at all costs. When the vicious battle was over, 2,339 Canadians were dead or wounded. But the town that had become known as "Little Stalingrad" was now in Allied hands. Ortona brings Canada's first major triumph of the war in dramatic, suspenseful narrative, weaving reminiscences of the Canadians, Germans, and Italians and told from the soldier's- eye-view."
