First Edition

"Founded by St. Benedict fourteen centuries before the tragic year, the Abbey of Monte Cassino was Europe's most illustrious monastery. During the Dark Ages it had preserved much of the West's written archive. Itself a work of art, the abbey loused countless treasures. On February 15, 1944, American bombers obliterated Monte Cassino. It was the cruelest of ironies that the Allies should destroy an emblem of the civilization they were fighting to save.What was done that day has been disputed ever since. The bombing has been variously called a blunder, a military necessity, even a war crime. But only now is it possible to tell the full story" [from the dust jacket].
