The Last Ridge: The Epic Story of America's First Mountain Soldiers and the Assault on Hitler's EuropeWhen World War II broke out in Europe, the American army had no specialized division of mountain soldiers. But in the winter of 1939 40, after a tiny band of Finnish mountain troops brought the invading Soviet army to its knees, an amateur skier named Charles Minot "Minnie" Dole convinced the United States Army to let him recruit an extraordinary assortment of European expatriates, wealthy ski bums, mountaineers, and thrill seekers and form them into

When World War II broke out in Europe, the American army had no specialized division of mountain soldiers. But in the winter of 1939-40, after a tiny band of Finnish mountain troops brought the invading Soviet army to its knees, an amateur skier named Charles Minot "Minnie" Dole convinced the United States Army to let him recruit an extraordinary assortment of European expatriates, wealthy ski bums, mountaineers, and thrill-seekers and form them into a unique band of Alpine soldiers. These men endured nearly three years of grueling training in the Colorado Rockies and in the process set new standards for both soldiering and mountaineering. The newly forged 10th Mountain Division finally faced combat in the winter of 1945, in Italy's Apennine Mountains, against the seemingly unbreakable German fortifications north of the Gothic Line. There, they planned and executed what is still regarded as the most daring series of nighttime mountain attacks in U.S. military history, taking Mount Belvedere and the sheer, treacherous face of Riva Ridge to smash the linchpin of the German army's lines.

Drawing on unique cooperation from veterans of the 10th Mountain Division and a vast archive of unpublished letters and documents, The Last Ridge is written with enormous warmth, energy, and honesty. This is one of the most captivating stories of World War II, a blend of Band of Brothers and Into Thin Air. It is a story of young men asked to do the impossible, and succeeding.

Comfy, cool
Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is my first time buying rayon/ bamboo sheets, and now I finally see what I've been missing. Very comfortable, soft, and feel really nice against the skin. Nice for this price point too. I took off one star because they do tend to wrinkle quickly, so I have to readjust them every night before going to bed. Also be aware that oil from your skin and hair products tend to stain them very quickly, and the stains are not easy to get out. But I'm ok with that as a trade-off for the comfort!

Look no further than! Buy these 💯
Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
Queen. Grey. Beautiful. Nice snug fit. Feels like silk. Super comfortable, soft, almost buttery. And truly cooling fabric. The price point is a steal. I will be ordering these sheets in all the colors. P.S. these sheets also laundered beautifully. I’m very very pleased with this purchase.

Sheets
Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Full
Have been the best sheets I've bought, would totally spend the money again. They feel soft against your skin yet keep you cool and comfortable. Easily fits my extra thick mattress, only a little wrinkles during use. They offer some wonderful colors, went with a dusty blue and am completely satisfied with richness of color.

Exceptional quality and feel
Color: 12 - Light Beige, Size: Queen
I will be purchasing again from Bedsure. I purchased the light beige which is exactly what the color was, like a gentle note of almond to it. Perfect for my bedroom as my master bath has light beige full shower, toilet and sink. I washed them and dressed the bed. The sizing was spot on. My mattress does has a 3" Mike Lindell topper. I would suggest making sure you follow their sizing which I did not do mine just happened to fit and didn't have much to spare either because of the topper. The sheets feel wonderful to sleep on. They do feel cool on my skin and felt cool out of the package also. I do not believe you would be disappointed unless you just absolutely were in love with the sheets you are on. This set works beautifully for me and my skin loves the smooth texture of the material. I'll be a repeat buyer.

Love BUT they STINK!!
Color: 26 - Forest Green, Size: King
I have the dark green sheets and would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin, haven’t been pilling near the foot area (which is what makes us go through so many sheets) and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️
