In July 1944, the soldiers of the French Expeditionary Force in Italy erased the effects of their 1940 defeat. Earning the respect of the Americans, they battered the German defenses — which until then had not been broken — in an extraordinary mountain battle around the Garigliano.

They pushed back the German lines, opening the road to Rome for the Allies. This book by Paul Gaujac provides a detailed account of General Juin's men, their organization, their equipment, daily life at the front, and more. Some twenty maps and hundreds of photographs are included.
