The Gallant Men

The Gallant Men

Landing with the invasion forces at Salerno, Italy, in 1943, Conley Wright joins an infantry unit commanded by Capt. Jim Benedict. The young officer is still unsure of himself, and his ability as a combat leader is severely tested by his first assignment—the taking of San Pietro, whose heavy defenses have repelled tank battalions.

Retreat to Concord

The company moves into Nieto for a ""mopping-up operation"". They are then ordered to hold this strategic town against a German advance. The first platoon gets a new replacement, Henry Draper, a crack shot with a rifle. While in Nieto, they get a cold reception from the town's matriarch.

And Cain Cried Out

Captain Benedict is not happy when he sees that his new sergeant is his younger brother Griff Benedict. The captain is faced with the dilemma of whether or not he can trust him to lead a platoon in battle. At the same time, he has to deal with some personal issues between him and his brother.
