Beschreibung
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 (&ldquoTexas&rdquo) Division would ultimately succeed in driving the Germans off the mountains but not before eighty percent of Waskow's company is lost in [...] Americans back home, two of the war's most lasting artistic expression brought horrified focus to the battlefield, already dubbed"Purple Heart Valley&rdquo 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.
