Summary
World War II at Camp Hale explores the history of the military training facility established in Colorado's Rocky Mountains during the 1940s. The book details how the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division trained at this high-altitude camp, preparing soldiers for mountain and winter warfare. David R. Witte examines the camp's construction, the rigorous training programs soldiers underwent in extreme conditions, and the facility's lasting impact on both military history and the development of Colorado's ski industry. The book highlights this unique chapter of American military preparation during World War II.
