 Mark W. Clark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clark was the youngest officer to become Lt. General in 1943, and was given command of the US Fifth Army shortly before the Salerno landings in Italy in September 1943.
As a result of Clark's actions, the Gothic Line was not broken for another year, and the provisional governments and safe areas which the Allies had encouraged the Italian Partisans to set up were smashed by the German Army, at great loss to the partisans.
Mark Clark, in his wisdom, thought that was the highest promontory mountain, and that the Germans were using that as a lookout and could see where we were.

 Mark A. R. Kleiman: Was George W. Bush a "deserter"?
Last week I criticized Wesley Clark for standing by and not protesting while Michael Moore called George W. Bush a "deserter." As I read the law, Bush was not guilty of the extremely serious crime of "desertion," but only of the less serious, though hardly trivial, offense of being Absent Without Leave (AWOL).
As to Clark, his answer tonight seemed to me quite sensible: Moore is at liberty to say what he likes, and Clark doesn't have to agree with him or disagree with him.
Clark hasn't looked into the facts and law of the case, and doesn't intend to look into them, because he's not running against George W. Bush's service record but against his record as President.

 General Lucas at Anzio
Mark W. Clark was sufficiently interested in water-borne end runs to form a special amphibious planning staff and make it part of his Fifth U.S. Army G-3 Section.
According to General Clark, the Anzio landing was to "exercise a decisive influence in the operation to capture Rome." [9] The purpose of the amphibious venture was to outflank the enemy positions then established along the Garigliano and Rapido Rivers, some sixty miles south of Anzio.
The attack was to begin on 12 January and to culminate on 20 January in a thrust by the II Corps across the Rapido in the shadow of the enemy-held height of Monte Cassino.
