The night descended upon the Apennines like a shroud of frigid darkness. With no moon and heavy cloud cover, the peaks and valleys were plunged into an inky, suffocating blackness. Into this profound void melted a team of six soldiers—Staff Sergeant Grey, Sergeant Mineo, Corporal Luby, Corporal Kaminsky, and two others—becoming six ghosts ascending the formidable eastern face of Riva Ridge.
