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."
