The Winter Army: The World War II Odyssey of the 10th Mountain Division, America's Elite Alpine Warriors"Compelling and readable . . . I had serious trouble putting this book down." John C.

"Compelling and readable . . . I had serious trouble putting this book down."--John C. McManus, author of Fire and Fortitude and The Dead and Those About to Die The epic story of the US Army's 10th Mountain Division, whose elite soldiers broke the last line of German defenses in Italy's mountains in 1945, spearheading the Allied advance to the Alps and final victory At the start of World War II, the US Army had two cavalry divisions--and no mountain troops. The German Wehrmacht, in contrast, had many well-trained and battle-hardened mountain divisions, some of whom, by 1943, had blocked the Allied advance in the Italian campaign. Starting from scratch, the US Army developed a unique military fighting force, the 10th Mountain Division, drawn from the ranks of civilian skiers, mountaineers, and others with outdoor experience. The resulting mix of Ivy League students, park rangers, Olympic skiers, and European refugees formed the first specialized alpine fighting force in US history. By the time they deployed to Italy at the beginning of 1945, this ragtag group had coalesced into a tight-knit unit. In the months that followed, at a terrible cost, they spearheaded the Allied drive in Italy to final victory. Ranging from the ski slopes of Colorado to the towering cliffs of the Italian Alps, The Winter Army is a saga of an unlikely band of soldiers forged in the heat of combat into a brotherhood whose legacy lives on in American mountain fighters to this day.Binding Type: Paperback

Nicely Made Shirt
Color: Blue 1, Size: Medium
Linen is always nice. This material does not easily wrinkle. The material is think but not see-through. It is not an athletic fit but fits well on my very buff son. The size is correct for what I normally order for him. The color is more pail than in the picture, but that's to be expected with linen. We have purchased 3 more colors.

A Perfect Shirt for a Wedding!
Color: White, Size: Large
Perfect, my son needed for a wedding, and there are just so many shirts, hard to know which one to choose. This shirt was it! It fit great, looked very nice, good quality. Very good for summer, it's not stiff and fabric is softer than an oxford. I did iron it out of the package since it was folded, and it ironed beautifully. Traveled in the car on a hanger with the suit jacket, wore next day to wedding. We got a size large, he's 5'8" and about 170 and it was good, and not gigantic like some large, the short sleeves were just right, there was enough length to tuck in. The collar was just right and buttoned for a tie. Once the dancing started and jackets came off, it survived well, and still looked great at the end of the night (tails out by then). Could not have done better at a Men's Warehouse for a lot more money.
