Customer Reviews
Horror on the Hill - Rated The hill is Monte Cassino, and the horror is the carnage of Allied attempts to wrest it from the Germans in 1944, among whom are numbered the lads of the 27th Penal Battalion. A classic Sven Hassel, with all the right ingredients - blood, guts, fear, high comedy and magnificent courage - with the shattered monastery ruins and the seedy streets of wartime Rome as the backdrop. The plot? Defend the hill to the last man. The outcome? A compelling tale from the master of World War Two pulp fiction. Enjoy it. One of the best - Rated This is the one I read first as a schoolboy and it got me started on the others. This is a more 'conventional' war story than the others, with shades of Alistair Maclean as the 27th don SS uniforms to spirit away the monastery's treasures. Sven's leave in Rome is a bit tedious but the action sequences and the general narrative thread in the rest of the book more than make up for it. As usual with the recipes, I'm not sure I'd try starlings and marrow balls at home!
