My book about WW1 on the Italian Front.
This new(ish) book is fascinating. It’s about the search for the identity of a soldier who melted out of the Popera Glacier in 1983. He was killed in one of the avalanches that overwhelmed the Italians on November 9, 1916. You can read about these extraordinary events, in English, in #TiTM.
