Produktbeschreibung

December 1943. A German fort sits impregnable atop a mountain. Standing between the Allied forces and their path to Rome is a steep climb up a 200-foot cliff, in the snow, in the middle of the night.

As the future of civilisation hangs in the balance, with Axis forces sprawled around the world, a group of highly trained US and Canadian soldiers from humble backgrounds is asked to do the impossible: capture this crucial Nazi stronghold. After completing state-of-the-art training - including skiing, rock climbing and parachuting - they advance upwards, through savage conditions and vicious fighting, into the darkness and towards almost certain defeat

'Every chapter is filled with harrowing adventure, life and death struggle... The amount of new cutting-edge research is impressive. A monumental achievement!' Douglas Brinkley

'Saul David has both a knack with the pen and a nose for a thrilling tale....Masterly [in] style...Readers should exult in The Force, whose heroic subjects deserve to be forever remembered' Wall Street Journal
