Eighth Army in Italy 1943–45: The Long Hard Slog
Richard Doherty
Eighth Army was Britain’s most famous field army of the twentieth century.
This book studies the experience of Eighth Army in the Italian campaign, examining how a force accustomed to the open spaces of North Africa adjusted to the difficult terrain of Italy where fighting became much more a matter for the infantry than for the armor.
The book uses official records at various levels, personal accounts – some never before published – and published material to present a picture of an army that, although defined as British, was one of the war’s most cosmopolitan formations
