In the email I received from them today and they noted that the 292 page ebook edition of Cassino: Portrait of a Battle by Fred Majdalany is currently available from Amazon for FREE. The book was published in 2013. I have downloaded the book, but not read it yet.
If you are a student of WWII history you should act now to add this book to your bookshelf. These sales often last only a few days, so better to act soon.

If you have an interest in the WWII era of history, you may find these three pages of interest.
The “World War II Resources” page is a constantly growing collection of more than 590 links to museums, memorials, websites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, and other sources with information on the World War II era in history.
The “World War II Timeline” page expands almost daily and shows events leading up to WWII, as well as during the war. Events are broken down into the Pacific and European Theaters by date.
The About WWII page is a collection of links to posts that I have made over the years that are relevant to WWII. Included are links to many fiction and non-fiction books on WWII that I have read and reviewed. There are also links to WWII oriented podcasts.

(See my other posts on Reading) – I came across the article “10 ways to download and read books online for free” today and wanted to share the suggestions it contained. I was aware of some of the suggestions, but not all. For any avid readers who want a source of lower cost reading material, these suggestions may be of value.
The suggestions:
Authorama features hundreds of public domain works
ManyBooks offers a selection of classics and contemporary novels
BookBub is a website with books, some free to download, and some are on sale for prices as low as 99 cents [I used this site many times when I first started reading ebooks – check out my full list of ebook sources on my Books & Reading page]
Goodreads community created lists including free e-books from indie and self-published authors, public domain classics, audiobooks from Librivox, books for kids, previews, samples and more
Smashwords has an extensive catalog of contemporary and classic fiction, non-fiction, essays, plays and screenplays that can be filtered by price
Digilibraries has a similar layout to Project Gutenberg with mostly public domain titles
BookLending “matches” users who can help out with someone else’s literary needs
We all like free ebooks when we can get them. One approach is ReadMill (https://readmill.com) a social reading service that provides a reader for iOS and Android that lets you read and share books in it’s library.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to an all-you-can-read service for a monthly fee and read as much of the provided titles as you have time for. There are three of these services I have become aware of:
http://www.scribd.com – $8.99 per month, free trial, offers a large assortment of free content, including more than 40 million documents and books.
I have not tried any of these yet myself, but Oyster does look to be a promising option. See my Books and Reading page for other information I have collected.
