The epic story of the last bridge standing over the Rhine and the daring men and mission that helped end World War II, by bestselling author and historian Alex Kershaw

Late winter, 1945: Allied forces have pushed the Germans toward the Rhine River. An elite reconnaissance unit from the Ninth Armored Division--a bunch of quirks and jerks, according to one officer--spearheads the attack into Nazi Germany.

Led by a German-born officer determined to throw off the shame attached to his name, the small band of Americans rushes into a hail of machine-gun bullets and across a bridge loaded with explosives. Battling through terrible casualties, they fight furiously to establish the first foothold on the eastern banks of the Rhine. In one of the most dramatic victories in military history, this cohort of warriors delivers a stunning strategic blow that forces the Third Reich to finally collapse.
