Two days before the Allied invasion of Sicily, Lt. John "Red" Parnell and his Blue Team are put ashore for a high-risk mission - to find and rescue a powerful Mafia capo who can aid the Allies in taking the island. But a bloody war erupts between Mob strongmen and Blue Team is sucked into it, fighting against bloodthirsty Mafiosi armed to the teeth by a brutal German Waffen-SS officer, Captain Karl Keppler.

Obsessed by his hatred for Blue Team and their partisan guides, Keppler grimly continues hunting them throughout the invasion of Salerno, through the bloody guerilla fighting on the Volturno River and the great Liri Valley, to the final, deadliest event of the Italian campaign, the assault on Monte Cassino...
