FROM SALERNO TO THE ALPS: HISTORY OF THE FIFTH ARMY, 1943-1945 (WWII UNIT HISTORY)
I can't find it. Who wrote that?
There is a book by a similiar name that is part of the US Army history series. It is the 2nd volume that covers the campaign in Italy. I thought the same author wrote both books; the one for the US Army and published by the GPO and the one he published for himself.
Martin Blumenson wrote the first volume: Salerno to Cassino (United States Army in World War II - The Mediterranean Theater of Operations)
Ernest F. Fisher Jr. wrote CASSINO TO THE ALPS / THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER OF OPERATIONS / UNITED STATES ARMY IN WORLD WAR II .
I thought it was Fisher who wrote the History of the 5th Army. Some day I would like to get a copy of it but not right now.
Yesterday at the mall, the book store had a copy of "An Army At Dawn". The softbound copy was $16, but the hardbound copy was on sale at $8. Duh. I'm no dummy. I may go back and get a copy for my brother. This book is 750 pages on the Americans in North Africa. Can't wait to read it.
