First UK edition. 8vo. Green boards lettered in gilt, in Ardizzone designed dustwrapper. A very good copy in a very good dustwrapper.
Based on fact, about the battle of Anzio, January - May 1944 and Woodruff's experiences in a British infantry brigade in the Anzio beachhead. "This is... one of the most convincing and starkly moving stories about man and war that has ever been written. Here... is the mood of those who fought and died at Anzio... In America this book has been compared to All Quiet on the Western Front for the way it penetrates the minds of men at war." [Blurb].
