博客來This is the story of the men who led them.
Early 1945. The road to the Alps-and the heart of the Third Reich-is blocked by two monsters: Hitler’s last mountain fortress in Italy and the haunting memory of failure.
To break the deadlock, Major General Price Hays, the ＂Rock of the Marne,＂ makes a terrifying gamble: his men will assault the fortified slopes of Mount Belvedere in the dead of night-with empty rifles.
It is a command that defies doctrine and demands absolute trust. Silence is their only armor.
Meanwhile, Colonel Will Darby, the legendary founder of Darby’s Rangers, returns to the front like a ghost. Exiled after the nightmare at Cisterna, he seeks not glory, but atonement. Guided by Annie, a British codebreaker who sees the man behind the legend, Darby must face the deadliest sin of command: coveting a victory bought with other men’s blood.
As the division launches its final drive to seal the Brenner Pass-the last escape route for Germany’s army in Italy-mentor and protégé reunite.
From the terrifying order to assault Belvedere with empty rifles to the race through the death-haunted tunnels above Lake Garda, Hays and Darby must walk through fire to break the enemy’s final line.
For one, it is a race to end the war. For the other, it is a chance to save his soul.
Inspired by True Heroes: Based on the incredible lives of Major General George ＂Price＂ Hays and Colonel William ＂Will＂ O. Darby, The Tenth Command is the powerful finale to The Tenth Series.
