Cassino ‘44
Monday 30 September 
Bridge House Theatre
7.30pm
The astonishing story of Monte Cassino, one of the most brutal and hard-fought of Second World War battles in Italy, told by one of the most acclaimed and insightful historians in the UK today, James Holland.
Following a rich cast of characters from both sides – from frontline infantry to aircrew, from clerks to battlefield commanders, plus politicians and civilians caught in the middle of the maelstrom – James has drawn widely on diaries, letters and other contemporary sources to write the definitive account of this brutal battle.
The result is a compelling and often heart-breaking narrative, told in the moment, as the events played out, from the perspective of those who lived, fought and died there.
