Reader reviews for They Called It Purple Heart Valley: A Combat Chronicle Of The War In Italy

From the publisher

""They Called It Purple Heart Valley: A Combat Chronicle Of The War In Italy"" is a book written by Margaret Bourke-White that provides a detailed account of the experiences of American soldiers during World War II in the Italian campaign. The book is based on the author's own experiences as a war correspondent and photographer, and it offers a firsthand perspective on the challenges and dangers faced by soldiers on the front lines. The title of the book refers to the nickname given to the area where the battles took place, due to the high number of casualties suffered by American troops. The book covers the period from the invasion of Sicily in 1943 to the liberation of Rome in 1944, and it includes descriptions of major battles such as the Battle of Anzio and the Battle of Monte Cassino. The author's vivid descriptions of the landscapes, the people, and the events of the war make this book a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of World War II.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
