The Brenner Assignment The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II
Author: Patrick K. O'Donnell
Like a scene from Where Eagles Dare, a small team of American spies parachutes into Italy behind enemy lines. Their orders: link up with local partisans and sabotage the well-guarded Brenner Pass, the Nazis'  crucial supply route through the Alps, thereby bringing the German war effort in Italy to a grinding halt.

This book recounts the experiences of U.S. OSS agents' efforts behind German lines in WWII. It reads better than the best spy fiction and takes you with these young men as they work with partisans to help defeat the Nazis. Some pay the price with their lives. The author expertly makes you feel almost as if you are there with them.
