Resolve: Medal of Honor Stories from the Battle of Anzio

By: Jason Edwards

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They landed with hope. They endured with grit. They won with resolve.

January 1944. On the quiet shores of Anzio, Italy, Allied troops came ashore in an ambitious bid to outflank the German lines and race toward Rome. What followed was anything but swift. Resolve tells the astonishing true stories of the men who stood fast in the face of bitter stalemate, unrelenting counterattacks, and unspeakable hardship—earning the Medal of Honor through valor forged in one of the most grueling campaigns of World War II.

This sixth volume in the Medal of Honor series captures the raw intensity of the Battle of Anzio—from the cautious landings and missed opportunities to the vicious attrition in the mud-soaked trenches and the brutal final push toward Rome. Each chapter profiles individual acts of extraordinary bravery: medics who ran into fire, riflemen who held the line against tanks, and commanders who led from the front when retreat seemed certain.

The broader narrative contextualizes these heroics within Operation Shingle’s high-risk gambit: an amphibious assault turned deadly siege. From the disastrous Ranger ambush at Cisterna to the final breakout, Resolve delivers a gripping account of courage under fire and leadership under pressure.

These stories do not glamorize war. They honor those who refused to break—men whose names deserve remembrance, and whose deeds defined resolve.
