 Hector had yelled for the commander to shoot the mortars at the hill.  He knew if his white commander had listened to him, none of this would ever have happened.
Follow the buffalo soldiers of the 92nd infantry division as they are trapped behind enemy lines in the Tuscany Mountains of Italy in WWII. With the Germans closing in on them. And a commander at base camp who could care less about a couple of black soldiers, they are on their own to survive for three days before reinforcements come. See if the four soldiers and the few remaining townspeople can outlast the Germans in a book about black soldiers in WWII.  (Matthew B., student)
