You Gotta Be Kidding!

Hapgood and Richardson provide a well written account of the reasons behind the destruction of the Abbey at Monte Cassino during the Italian Campaign. It is of interest because the authors incorporated information taken from the Monk's diaries. The secret story of the German Commander, General Frido von Senger's attempts to save and protect the Abbey and the events leading to the Allied bombing are revealed. Its an easy read and makes you want to find other books on the same subject.
