| Product Details |
| Three U.S. soldiers in Italy during World War II climb a rainswept mountain on a reconnaissance mission, troubled by an act of violence committed by their sergeant, and deeply suspicious of their elderly guide. Richard Bausch's 11th novel creates a sympathetic yet disturbing portrait of the mind and morality of men at war, and subtly ratchets up the tension as the soldiers wander into a sniper's trap. |

Literary Review: "Bausch...deftly navigates this treacherous narrative territory, In lesser hands, the book's dense metaphorical atmosphere...might have become oppressive, but Bausch displays admirable restraint. He also proves himself adept at characterisation.", Publishers Weekly: "Bausch's compassion for [the soldiers] is evident, but his story is unforgiving, the tightly paced final scenes offer no clarity of purpose in a dark war story of unyielding sorrow."
