Garden City, NJ: Doubleday & Company, Inc, 1975. First edition. First Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. Good. No dust jacket. Ex-library. Usual library markings. Library bookplate. Pencil erasure residue on fep.. xxxvi, 488, [4] p. Illustrations. Map. Occasional footnotes. Chronology. Notes. Bibliography. Index. This is the first full account of one of the most dramatic events of World War II----the Allied liberation of Nazi-occupied Rome. Drawing from thousands of documents----many heretofore secret----and hundreds of interviews, Dan Kurzman reconstructs a city girding for destruction: In the spring of 1944 the Eternal City seemed doomed to become a vast burial ground for some of the greatest treasures of Western civilization. From Wikipedaia: "Dan Halperin Kurzman (27 March 1922, San Francisco 12 December 2010, Manhattan), was an American journalist and writer of military history books. In the early 1950s, he was a correspondent of the NBC News in Jerusalem. In 1960 he published his first political book, a biography of the Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi. In the 1960s, Kurzman worked as a foreign policy correspondent for the Washington Post. In 1965 he received the George Polk Award for external reporting. After the end of the sixties he devoted himself to researching and writing."
