Reviews for US 10th Mountain Division in World War II
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A reasonably good overview of a unique unit though it should be kept in mind that due to its late deployment to Italy rather more ink is devoted to the tactical concepts behind mountain troops, the expectations the U.S. Army had for its light divisions and what it took to create the 10th than to actual combat.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great telling of a poignant story of a unit that could. Never realized that the powers that be were so against this specialized unit that really was needed.
