Anzio contains remarkable insights into the actions, mental tortures and philosophy of the ranking commanders.

- John Toland, The New York Times Book Review

...a superb, omniscient narrative... . Blumenson's well-written, insightful, and fast-paced Anzio: The Gamble That Failed is an anatomy of a military disaster. Readers will be rewarded with a deeper understanding of this saga of an ill-conceived operation and notorious lost opportunities, tempered with the perseverance and intrepidity of Allied soldiers.
