📚 **For readers who enjoy historical fiction, World War II, and stories of courage**
I’d like to share ***The Snake in Winter: The Brazilians at Monte Castello***, a two-volume historical novel inspired by the participation of the **Brazilian Expeditionary Force in the Italian Campaign**.
The story follows Tonho and his platoon from training in Brazil to the fighting in the Italian mountains. Cold, loss, friendship, fear, sacrifice, and endurance shape a journey that culminates at Monte Castello and continues through the final stages of the war.
**Volume I — The Road to Monte Castello**
From preparation in Brazil to the first battles and the attempts to capture the mountain.
**Volume II — The Snake Smokes**
The decisive offensive, the capture of Monte Castello, and the continuation of the campaign until the end of the war.
🇧🇷 A lesser-known perspective on World War II
⚔️ Military historical fiction
🤝 Courage, brotherhood, and survival
📖 Two volumes, one epic journey
Both books are available in English on **Amazon Kindle**.
If you enjoy war stories with a human focus, historical context, and the memory of those who fought far from home, this series offers a different perspective on the Allied campaign in Italy.
