It’s been 75 years since the U.S. Army sent its 10th Mountain Division to the Italian front in the final months of World War II. The band of soldiers would lead the Allied advance through the Alps, ultimately guaranteeing the German surrender in Italy. The bravery, struggles, and accomplishments of the 10th are documented in The Winter Army: The 10th Mountain Division in World War II, a new book by Maurice Isserman, the Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of American History.
