"Ross Carter was one of only three men in his platoon of paratroopers to survive the war. From Anzio to the final days of the Nazi juggernaut, he and his comrades in the 504th Parachute Infantry were hurled into one inferno after another, displaying unmatched bravery in the face of death. Ross Carter brings these extraordinary men to life, soldiers from all walks of life: farm boys, millionaires' spoiled brats, white-collar men, factory workers, ex-cons and hoboes... all joined together to take supreme risks in a new and unexplored frontier of war. Here is an eyewitness participant's account of men who fought the enemy to a standstill in bloody battles across North Africa and Europe."
