A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Monte Sole - Mountain of the Sun - had the bad luck to lie on the main route of withdrawl of the retreating German armies in the fall of 1944. As the allied advance stormed up Italy to the very shadow of Monte Sole, Axis frustration over their retreat and the harassing Italian partisans reached it's peak.
With full authorization of Field Marshall Albert Kesselring, and with an infusion of dread SS reinforcements, the Germans determined to neutralise Monte Sole. The result was, in Kesselring's chilling words,'a war operation'. In brilliant page-turning prose, Olsen re-creates the unspeakable three day butchery of innocent Italian civilians that ranked among the blackest atrocities in the history of man's inhumanities to man.
