- Summary:
- Why would a former U.S. Army Air Corps major spend decades of his post-war life trying to convince Congress, the State Department, and numerous presidents to defend, and later to honor posthumously, a man who was convicted of war crimes and executed by firing squad under British orders and with American compliance? The answer to this strange question takes you deep inside war-torn Yugoslavia as hard-pressed resistance groups battle the Nazis and each other, and downed Allied airmen struggle desperately to avoid capture and find a way home. Shadows on the Mountain tells one of then most gripping, heroic, and tragic war stories you'll ever read.
