Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Allied invasion of Italy was led by the US VI Corps, which was made up of American and British divisions. The Germans had made the advance tortuous, and the British soldiers were extremely tired. But they continued their struggle, taking tiny bites out of the terrain.

#2 The Italian Campaign, with its distrust, frustration, dispute, and resentment, had brought those differences to the forefront. The strong relationship between Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt was critical.

#3 The Americans were unimpressed with the British approach in the Mediterranean, which was to defend Egypt from Benito Mussolini’s Italy. They wanted to launch an offensive into mainland Europe, and the British reluctantly agreed to support them.

#4 The campaign in North Africa was not finished in 1942, and the British and Americans had to work together to secure the entire North African coastline. The British were critical of the Americans, and they never really understood each other.
