Description
December 1943 marked a pivotal moment in history as Allied forces faced off against the Axis powers. A crucial German fort stood atop a mountain, its capture essential to the war effort. A small group of highly trained US and Canadian soldiers from humble backgrounds was tasked with the impossible: capturing this strategic stronghold. The mission would push these soldiers to their limits, testing their skills in state-of-the-art training including skiing, rock climbing, and parachuting. The journey upwards through savage conditions and vicious fighting seemed almost certain to end in defeat. Yet, it was a moment that would have far-reaching consequences for the future of civilization. With meticulous research and masterful storytelling, Saul David brings this harrowing adventure to life, shedding new light on one of the war's most pivotal moments.
