From the flawless dust jacket: "GREEN COGNAC, THE EDUCATION OF A MOUNTAIN FIGHTER is a superb account of the mountain and ski troops as seen from Putnam's often wry perspective. The elite Mountain Troops were sent to break the German Gothic Line in the Apennine Mountains of Italy. Brilliantly led, they fought their way northward with magnificent dash, seizing control of ten mountain crests. Their determined drive broke German resistance and brought on the first large-scale enemy surrender of World War II. Much celebrated and studied after the war for their striking success and spirit in the field, the Mountain Troops presented an awe-inspiring picture of camaraderie and courage. From the bold ski-trooper concept, first suggested in 1940, to the final days of demobilization at the end of 1945, this is their story.". First Edition. Hardcover. New/New dust jacket.
