The Boys of Winter
Charles Sanders
257 pages, softcover: $19.95
University Press of Colorado, 2005.
Charles Sanders, an
avid skier himself, tells the true stories of three champion skiers
who joined the Army’s 10th Mountain Division during World War
II. After training on the West’s snowy peaks, they went off
to fight — and die — in Italy’s Apennine
Mountains. By detailing their personal stories, Sanders reveals the
true cost of combat and the immense personal sacrifice made by
soldiers. It’s a lesson just as relevant to today’s
war.
