Editing Battle of Monte Cassino (section)

===''A Canticle for Leibowitz''===
The American writer [[Walter M. Miller Jr.]], a Catholic, served as part of a bomber crew that participated in the destruction of the ancient Monte Cassino monastery. As Miller stated, this experience deeply influenced him and directly resulted in his writing, a decade later, the book ''[[A Canticle for Leibowitz]]'', which is considered a masterpiece of science fiction. The book tells the story of a group of monks who are committed to preserving the remnants of scientific knowledge after a [[Nuclear warfare|nuclear war]] until the world is ready to receive it again.<ref name="garvey">{{cite journal | last = Garvey | first = John | title = A Canticle for Leibowitz: A Eulogy for Walt Miller | journal = Commonweal | volume = 123 | issue = 7 | pages = 7–8 | publisher = Commonweal Foundation | date = 5 April 1996|quote=I went to war with very romantic ideas about war, and I came back sick.}}</ref><ref name="roberson">{{cite book | last = Roberson | first = Williams H. |author2= Battenfeld, Robert L. | title = Walter M.
