&#8220;The Last Ridge is the breathtaking story of how one man&#8217;s vision, and the sheer courage of the legendary 10th Mountain Division, helped change the course of World War II in Europe. Among the war&#8217;s countless acts of bravery and sacrifice, this one stands out, and McKay Jenkins brings it to life in his riveting account.&#8221;&#8212;Senator John McCain&#8220;The 10th Mountain Division was the only American Alpine unit to fight during World War II, and its heroic and daring exploits during the final months of the Italian campaign are fully documented by McKay Jenkins in this stirring, first-rate account of men at war.&#8221;&#8212;Carlo D&#8217;Este, author of Eisenhower: A Soldier&#8217;s Life&#8220;Stymied by army bureaucrats, forced to climb snowfields without ice axes or crampons, trained in skills that were never properly exploited, the soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division nonetheless became the stuff of myth. Without McKay Jenkins&#8217;s meticulous research, the achievements and eccentricities of this remarkable group of men could easily have been forgotten. Instead, they have been brought to life.&#8221;&#8212;Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down&#8220;Few have written about the Army&#8217;s elite 10th Mountain Division, and no one has done so as dramatically and with such passion and insight as McKay Jenkins. The perfect war story has, at long last, found the perfect storyteller.&#8221;&#8212;Andrew Carroll, editor of War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars&#8220;The Last Ridge is one of the very best books yet written about any part of the World War II story. My friend the late Stephen Ambrose would be proud of this work about one of the most fascinating yet little-known records of the mountain ski patrols&#8212;both in war and in the peacetime that followed.&#8221;&#8212;Senator George McGovern&#8220;The Last Ridge is a great untold story of mountaineering and war. It&#8217;s a terrific read, sharp with characters, full of real drama, and, best of all, it&#8217;s true.&#8221;&#8212;Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone &#8220;The Last Ridge, based on skillful interviews with the survivors, is a fine account of a great story, long overdue in the telling, and very well told.&#8221;&#8212;Peter Matthiessen, author of The Snow Leopard

Praise for Ping-Pong Heart"Excellent . . . This is a highly atmospheric novel full of well-developed characters and strong emotional situations. The locales are so vividly described that you can almost breathe in the dust and touch the decaying buildings." &mdash;Lansing State Journal "Robbery, mayhem and murder are spiced by sardonic military humor in this lively thriller set in South Korea in 1974 when the Cold War was a good deal warmer." &mdash;The Washington Times "Compelling . . . Major developments in the lives of Lim&oacute;n&rsquo;s leads complement the intricate whodunit."&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Lim&oacute;n&rsquo;s insights into Korea&rsquo;s history and culture, and into U.S. Army culture, just keep getting richer."&mdash;Booklist"Lim&oacute;n&rsquo;s 11th Americans-in-Korea procedural has grit, pace, and an authentic feel."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;"Series aficionados will welcome this 11th outing with its fast-moving convoluted crime and investigation. Newcomers don&rsquo;t have to read the previous volumes to enjoy it either. Mystery readers who appreciate exotic settings, both in time and space, and who like quality buddy procedurals will admire Lim&oacute;n&rsquo;s writing." &mdash;Library Journal&#160; Praise for&#160;The Ville Rat"Action-filled."&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#160; "The Ville Rat, the [10th] in Lim&oacute;n's series, confirms the author's knack for creating sturdy plots, solid writing and well-rounded characters."&mdash;The Seattle Times "Pulse-pounding . . . This police procedural, with its unusual locale, admirable protagonists, and well-developed plot, stands as a superior entry in a consistently impressive series."&mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Often praised for his knowledge of Korean society and culture and the massive footprint of the U.S. Army on Korea, Lim&oacute;n has an outstanding series going, and this one may be the best installment yet."&mdash;Booklist, Starred Review"Sue&ntilde;o and Bascom's [10th] appearance has vivid characters, and its searing portrait of the sins of our recent past bids fair to transcend the genre."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews
