"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.

Light weight and stylish
Color: Black
Love the bag, it’s light weight and is durable. It has several compartments which makes organizing easy. I wish the handles had some type of grip so it wouldn’t slip off my shoulders when walking a longer distance. However, I do get a lot of compliments on this bag.

Love the style but it doesn’t hold shape
Size: One Size, Color: Vanilla
I am big fan of the Lucky Brand. This tote disappointed simply because it was floppy. So if you set it down it just collapses instead of holding shape. So it wasn’t what I was looking for in a tote. I was really excited about this bag because I love the style and color. But I ended up returning it.

WOW!! Pics do not do it justice!
Color: Classic, Size: Small
I was ready to be disappointed with this bag because of the low price and the meh pics BUT NO! This is a lovely bag. *the feel is indescribably soft and pleasant. *the quality is apparent in the beautiful lining as well as the exterior. It is beautifully sewn and designed. *the thought that went into the design is remarkable. Each pocket is conveniently placed and deep enough to be secure. No wasted space as in, there are additional deep pockets on the outside for anything but what comes to mind is a water bottle that won’t go sideways and spill or leak or topple out. It is comfortable, spacious, smart, and pleasing to touch and hold. *the bottom zipper is discreet and opens up to expand the volume of the bag should you need it. The lining easily accommodates the adjustment. I chose the small size which is perfectly adequate for my needs. I will use for short trips as it will accommodate laptop, dog treats, my snacks and hydration, book, wallet, phone and more of course. I value this much much higher than the price I paid. None of the pics do it justice. You have to have it in your hands to believe. I highly recommend. I’m fighting that impulse to get a back up bc this is def my new favorite.
