About This Book

A newspaper correspondent offers eyewitness reportage from the front during the opening months of a mountainous conflict, detailing assaults on high positions, the creation of roads and emplacement of heavy guns in inaccessible terrain, and the engineering, supply and coordination that sustain operations. The narrative emphasizes the troops' morale and sacrifices and the effective cooperation of arms and services, while situating vivid battlefield scenes alongside reflections on the accuracy of official communiqués and a pointed rebuttal of distant critics who question the conduct and outcomes of the fighting.
