Bold Rescue Ronn Munsterman

The Battle of the Bulge is raging. The good news is the weather improved and the Allies' air superiority comes back into play. The Americans have fought their way back, shrinking the bulge, but at a terrible price. The Germans, however, are resupplying the southern portion of their front line by convoys at night when the Allied air power can't touch them. U. S. Army Ranger Master Sergeant Tom Dunn and his squad of deadly Rangers are assigned to parachute into Germany and destroy the last bridge available to Germans in that area. Getting in is easy . . . escape might be another matter. British Army Commando Sergeant Major Malcolm Saunders and his men raid a Danish lighthouse used by the Germans to guide their shipping convoys. Having seen the same lighthouse on a previous mission to Sweden, Saunders is happy to go back and ruin it for the Germans. Meanwhile, in Bologna, Italy, a twelve-year-old Jewish boy named Benjamin struggles to care for four younger Jewish children. All five are hiding from the Germans following the deportation of their parents to Auschwitz. With the advance of the Allied Armies in Italy halted due to winter, Italian partisans take on a more and more important role. In a joint mission, Dunn and Saunders take their men to the Apennines Mountains northwest of Bologna to train an entire company of partisans. Horrifying news from Bologna arrives at the partisans' encampment: the Gestapo is rounding up the last of the Jews in the city. Next stop by train: Auschwitz. Working together, Dunn, Saunders, and the partisans' leaders plan a bold rescue. But can they stop the train to Auschwitz and rescue the Jews aboard?In book thirteen of his WWII action thrillers, Munsterman reminds us of his masterful blending of real-life Nazi plans with fiction giving the reader an action-packed story in a non-stop page-turning pace. In Bold Rescue, he tackles just a small part of the single most horrific event in WWII, the extermination of the Jews in Europe, and shows us what men with integrity and who care can do.
