The Brenner Assignment: The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II | Patrick K. O'Donnell
Like a scene from Where Eagles Dare, a small team of American spies parachutes into Italy behind enemy lines. Their orders: link up with local partisans and sabotage the well-guarded Brenner Pass - the Nazis' crucial supply route through the Alps - thereby bringing the German war effort in Italy to a grinding halt. Using thousands of recently declassified files, personal interviews, and private documents, including a behind-the-lines diary found buried in a bottle, military historian Patrick K. O'Donnell has written a cinematic adventure story packed with action, suspense, intrigue, romance, and an unforgettable cast of characters. An exciting true tale of survival and sabotage behind enemy lines, The Brenner Assignment is one of the greatest untold stories of World War II.
