Description
In December of 1943, as Nazi forces sprawled around the world and the future of civilization hung in the balance, a group of highly trained U.S. and Canadian soldiers was asked to do the impossible: capture a crucial Nazi stronghold perched atop stunningly steep cliffs. Brought together by the promise to take part in the military's most elite missions, they formed a unique brotherhood tested first by the crucible of state-of-the-art training, and then by the vicious fighting they would face. The unit became a model for the "Green Berets" and other special forces groups. David draws on first-hand accounts, interviews, memoirs, land declassified documents to tell a story that is as deeply personal as it is inspiring. -- adapted from jacket
