Sven Hassel and the few surviving men of his unit are posted to Italy, where the armies are locked in battle around the ancient hilltop monastery of Monte Cassino. Hitler has ordered that every position must be held until the last, and every lost position recaptured by counter-attack. In the face of overwhelming Allied firepower, Sven and his mates cling to the mountainside knowing they cannot defy the odds for ever. From no-holds-barred descriptions of the frontline combat to partisan attacks and adventures in Rome on leave, MONTE CASSINO is classic Sven Hassel.
Born in 1917 in Fredensborg, Denmark, Sven Hassel joined the merchant navy at the age of 14. He did his compulsory year's military service in the Danish forces in 1936 and then, facing unemployment, joined the German army. He served throughout the Second World War on all fronts except North Africa. When the war ended in 1945 he was transferred between Russian, American and French prison camps, and upon returning to Denmark, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for treason. He began writing LEGION OF THE DAMNED during his time as a prisoner of war. His 14 Second World War books, which draw on his own encounters and experiences as a soldier, have sold over 53 million copies worldwide and have been published in more than 50 countries. He peacefully passed away in Barcelona in 2012, where he had resided since 1964.
