Vessel of Sadness
William Woodruff Audio Book

Italy, 1944, is the setting of one of the most convincing and quietly magnificent stories about man and war that has ever been written.

They didn’t know where they were going and they didn’t really care. They didn’t want to fight and they hardly knew what the war was about. But, they went, together, singing, to what lay before them. Here, distilled from the experiences and observations of the author, who served in Italy in the British infantry, is the story of those who fought and died at Anzio.
