"A Soldier of the Great War" by Mark Helprin relates a stories of fighting between Italian and German (perhaps Austrian) Alpine troops. A very worthwhile read.

Not only is A SOLDIER OF THE GREAT WAR a superlative novel, but Mark Helprin is a Republican speech writer who worked for Bush 41. This novel was so brilliant it profoundly changed the way I look at life.
