Besides the book "Dawn of Battle". What are some other good books on the US Army Italian Campaign? Thanks for the help. |

The two US Army official histories are available online: Salerno to Cassino, Cassino to the Alps. link
That's where I always start.(the Canadian official histories also available and very good)
"Draftee Division: The 88th Infantry Division in World War II" by John Sloan Brown, who's father was division commander, is not only a very good narrative on the break out from around Monte Cassino but gives excellent detail about forming and training of US Army divisions during WW2.
