The British had a song for it: "Oh, we are the D-Day Dodgers," based on a comment from a female member of Parliament that dismissed all those not on the beaches at Normandy as draft evaders. Indeed, after the invasion of France the Allied armies in Italy found themselves in a forgotten theater of war. Until now, their eleven-month saga of bitter combat and gallant sacrifice has been ignored.The problem for the Allies was that the fall of the Italian capital on June 4, 1944- although a spectacular public relations triumph- did not end the campaign. The Germans had simply conducted a short strategic withdrawal, conceding one objective while proceeding to fortify additional defense lines.From Salerno to Rome, and most famously at Cassino, the Germans took advantage of the mountains, ridges and rivers that crisscross Italy to exact every drop of blood from the Allied forces. Although the press was no longer paying attention, in the north of Rome the process of continued Allied offensives met by a German resistance that alternated between ferocity and flexibility.A notable feature of the combat in Italy was the large mixture of Allied nationalities involved. Although the American Fifth and the British Eighth Armies were the major forces, on different parts of the line fought South Africans, Canadians, Greeks, Nisei, Jews, Poles, French, Gurkhas, Indians and others. The first U.S. black division fought here, as well as the Brazilian contingent (a curiosity to the Germans, who constantly probed their front).The War North of Rome features a forward by Senator Bob Dole, who fought in this neglected theater of war. He was one of 364 wounded (98 killed) in his regiment's attack on a series of German-held hills. Though he barely survived the battle he states, "I always felt I was fortunate . . ."By the time Allied forces vanquished the enemy in Italy, Russian soldiers were already dancing on Hitler's grave. Nevertheless, our young men north of Rome fought as bravely, and suffered as much, as troops on any front in WWII. Their record of courage and sacrifice is described here in a long-overdue, comprehensive account.Binding Type: Paperback

works as advertised!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this kit to renew the headlights on my 2016 Nissan Frontier pick-up. The headlights had become slightly oxidized and dull -- not that bad but it was bothering me and for the price of the kit I figured it was worth the effort to attempt to renew them.
All I can say is -- WOW, what a difference. The end result looked like new -- clean, brilliant and bright.
Read the directions (2 or 3 times) and follow them EXACTLY. Total time for me from opening the kit to being done was about 2 hours and I was taking my time.
This kit is different in that the final step applies a UV resistant coating which really makes the glass super transparent.
Great investment in the time and money. I can't stop admiring my new (old) headlights!

Incredible Results! The "Z-Line" is Back!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a few "wipe-on" fixes in the past, but the CERAKOTE® Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit is in a completely different league. If you are tired of hazy, yellowed lenses and weak nighttime visibility, look no further.
📖 Instructions & Ease of Use
The first thing that stood out was the clarity of the instructions. The kit breaks everything down into a simple, step-by-step process. Even if you aren't a "car person," the directions are foolproof. They don't just tell you what to do; they explain why each step matters, which gave me the confidence to get the job done right the first time.
✨ Restoration Effectiveness
As you can see in my Before and After photos, the transformation is night and day. My headlights went from a dull, oxidized yellow to a factory-fresh, crystal-clear finish. It didn't just "clean" them—it completely rejuvenated the plastic.
🔦 The Real Test: Light Output & Beam Pattern
The most impressive part isn't just how the car looks, but how it performs at night. I’ve included a photo of my car parked against a wall in the dark to show the comparison:
Passenger Side (Restored): You can see a sharp, distinct cutoff line and the perfect "Z-line" pattern. The light is focused exactly where it needs to be on the road.
Driver Side (Not Restored yet): The light is completely distorted. There is no cutoff, just a messy blob of light that scatters everywhere, likely blinding oncoming traffic while providing less actual visibility for me.
Final Verdict
This kit doesn't just make your car look better; it’s a genuine safety upgrade. Seeing that crisp Z-line back on the wall proves that the clarity is internal as well as external. Highly recommended!

Like factory part
Color: Tan, Size: Driver side
Fit like factory. I changed the mounting bracket and bolts to have the factory one instead of their set up though

Avoid this handle if you use it
Color: Black, Size: Driver side
Good Product if you don't use it, terrible product if you do use it. The plastic it's made of is too flimsy and gets worse with heat. Installed this product and it only lasted a month and a half before the metal reinforcement plate ripped off the entire plastic handle assembly.
