In December of 1943, a group of highly trained US and Canadian soldiers capture a crucial Nazi stronghold perched atop stunningly steep cliffs.

David Saul knits together first-hand accounts and documents to show how these too-often forgotten heroes managed a string of incredible feats with strategic importance to WWII.
