But the 'civilian' locals put up a stern defense, making best use of superior knowledge of the merciless mountains. The Italians get pinned down and are forced to destroy the villages they wanted to annex. Austrian boy Tobias Klein is seized with his beloved donkey, forced at gunpoint to guide Italian lieutenant Lorenzo Durante's troops, but is at least as desperate not to help them kill his family and friends. Cold, avalanches and fighting, including tunnels to plant explosives, exact an even worse toll then the trenches war. Written by KGF Vissers See less
