FOR FANS OF BAND OF BROTHERS, UNBROKEN, AND BENEATH A SCARLET SKY In the dead of night, Adirondack woodsman Johnnie Grey leads the legendary 10th Mountain Division up an ice cliff the Germans call unconquerable-a linchpin in the brutal Gothic Line. One slip means oblivion. One victory could rip the German front wide open and help liberate Italy. His survival instincts-honed hunting through blizzards and the Great Depression-are his greatest weapon. But his heart belongs to Ellie, the West Virginia farm girl who slips a silver St. Andrew's Cross around his neck: a trail mark of love meant to guide him home. Now, under a relentless "ring of fire" artillery barrage, Johnnie must bet everything on a wild, audacious plan. Inspired by true events, The Tenth Trail Mark is a gripping tale of mountain warfare, impossible courage, and a love strong enough to light even the darkest ascent. Drawing on his father's firsthand experience-wounded in action and awarded the Bronze Star during the brutal assault on Mount Belvedere-author Joe Looby brings this harrowing battle to life with heartfelt realism and historical depth. What readers are saying: "Captivating from start to finish-I couldn't put it down." "A deeply personal and meaningful read."
