A critical look at this appallingly managed campaign describes how the Allies triumphed in spite of dissent, desertion, venereal disease, and the actions of a weak and irresolute British commander and a power-hungry American one. Not an orthodox military history detailing the Italian campaign from the Sicily beaches to the Po Valley, but rather a study of the inadequacy of Allied leadership and its effect on the conduct of the campaign and the fate of ordinary soldiers.
