 The Force by Saul David--360 pages

The book recounts the formation of the First Special Service Force as a joint Canadian-U.S. unit originally intended for deployment to mountainous and snow-covered terrain. Their intense training in Montana, and the decisions of the Allied high command regarding the unit's first deployment are covered in detail. The book does a fine job of describing the regiment's first assault on a mountaintop in Italy in 1943, and the many men who lost their lives in that critical battle.
