About this listen
The Boys of Winter tells the true story of three young American ski champions and their brutal, heroic, and fateful transformation from athletes to infantrymen with the 10th Mountain Division. Charles J. Sanders's fast-paced narrative draws on dozens of interviews and extensive research to trace these boys' lives from childhood to championships and from training at Mount Rainier and in the Colorado Rockies to battles against the Nazis.
The book is published by University Press of Colorado. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

"Sanders' accounts of combat, usually in the survivors' voices, are riveting.... The Boys of Winter is a sensitive tribute." (Western Historical Quarterly)
"Remarkable history...." (Durango Herald)
"Perfectly captures the spirit of the men who made the division what it was, as well as the spirit of those troopers who survived to help shape the postwar world." (John Imbrie, 10th Mountain Division historian)
