PRAISE FOR THE LAST RIDGE:
"Jenkins uses oral histories of combatants to give the reader gripping accounts of the bloody but successful assaults on the heavily fortified Gothic Line in the Apennine Mountains."--Washington Post Book World
"Engaging ... A fine acccount, for WWII and outdoor adventure buffs alike."--Kirkus Reviews
"The Last Ridge is the breathtaking story of how one man's vision, and the sheer courage of the legendary 10th Mountain Division, helped change the course of World War II in Europe. Among the war's countless acts of human bravery and sacrifice, this one stands out, and McKay Jenkins brings it to life in his riveting account."--Senator John McCain
