By the time Mark Clark's Fifth Army reached the small village of San Pietro north of Naples in the first week of December 1943, a tough but rapid sweep through Sicily came to a muddy halt. On the slopes of a distant mountain, the death of a single platoon captain, Henry Waskow, epitomized the struggle. A Death in San Pietro chronicles the quietly heroic and beloved Captain Waskow and his company as they make their way into battle. Waskow's 36th ( Texas ) Division would ultimately succeed in driving the Germans off the mountains; but not before eighty percent of Waskow's company is lost in action. For Americans back home, two of the war's most lasting artistic expression brought horrified focus to the battlefield, already dubbed Purple Heart Valley by the men of the 36th. Pulitzer Prize-winner Ernie Pyle's dispatch about Waskow's death and filmmaker John Huston's award-winning documentary of the battle rivets-and shocks-the nation, bringing, as if for the first time, the awful carnage of world war into living rooms across America.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 36x229x152 mm;Gewicht: 499,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: november 2013;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0306822148;ISBN13: 9780306822148; Engelstalig | Hardcover | 2013.
