Woodruff, William Vessel of Sadness
New York HarperCollins 1987 0060157097 / 9780060157098 Y Hardcover N
From the Publisher A masterpiece of war literature, Vessel of Sadness is a harrowing, true–life novel about the 1944 Anzio landings, in the tradition of Band of Brothers. Italy, 1944—the setting for one of the most convincing, quietly magnificent stories about man and war that has ever been written. Here, distilled from the experiences of the author, who served in Italy in the British Infantry, is the story of those who fought and died at Anzio. Their task was to seize the Alban Hills and then Rome. Instead, for more than four months, they sank into the mud of the Anzio plain and fought for their lives. Nothing has appeared since Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front that can compare with this book's ability to penetrate the minds of men at war. There are no heroes, no victories. Even national differences merge and are forgotten in this larger story of humanity. William Woodruff, author of The Road to Nab End and Beyond Nab End, now lives in Florida.
