The gripping story of the Italian Campaign and Nazi Occupation of Rome in 1943-1944 through the eyes of the Allies, the German Occupiers, Pope Pius XII and the Vatican, and the Roman Resistance. Book 2 of the bestselling, award-winning World War two Trilogy.

"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
 
"Marquis has really upped his game with Altar of Resistance....It's more than evident considerable research went into establishing the events,settings, and especially the characters....The man is prolific as well as deep."
—Dr. Wesley Britton, Bookpleasures.com (Crime & Mystery)
 
"Master plotter Samuel Marquis has done it again. Beginning with a mysterious double murder, Altar of Resistance brilliantly weaves the personal stories of its two young protagonists, John and Teresa, together with the history of the Allied liberation of Rome during World War II. In addition to page-turning intrigue, the reader is treated to revelations about Pope Pius XII's secret role fighting the Nazis. Altar of Resistance is a taut historical thriller at its finest."
—Kelly Oliver, author of WOLF and COYOTE
