My latest article in The Good Men Project on the heroic WWII General Robert Tyrone Frederick & his legendary Devil’s Brigade (the First Special Service Force) excerpted from my recently released thriller, Altar of Resistance-Book 2 of my WWII Series. The novel tells the story of the Italian Campaign and Nazi Occupation of Rome in 1943-1944 through the eyes of the Allies and hard-fighting First Special Service Force, the German Occupiers, Pope Pius XII and the Vatican, and the Roman Resistance.
“Altar of Resistance is a gripping and densely packed thriller dramatizing the Allied Italian campaign…reminiscent of Herman Wouk’s The Winds of War.”–Kirkus Reviews
“Marquis is a student of history, always creative, [and] never boring….A good comparison might be Tom Clancy.”–Military.com
“Samuel Marquis picks up his World War II trilogy with Altar of Resistance, a well-researched and explosive ride through war-torn Rome with Nazis, booming battles, and intense cat-and-mouse chases….Grounded in historical fact but spiced up with thrilling imagination with the fate of the world in balance.”–Foreword Reviews
