About the Book
North Africa. 1943.
Young American soldiers enter Tunisia expecting to take the fight to the Axis powers. Instead, at Kasserine Pass they encounter a battle that exposes the brutal cost of inexperience against a seasoned enemy.
Caught in the chaos are men who must survive not only combat, but capture and imprisonment far from home. What begins on the battlefield becomes an entirely different struggle behind barbed wire, where endurance, ingenuity and loyalty become weapons of their own.
Inspired by true events, Kasserine follows the human cost of one of the U.S. Army’s most painful early encounters with German forces in World War II—and the men whose war continued long after the shooting around Kasserine Pass ended.
