Army War Heroes #8

Sergeant Neil Lowden has just one hour left before his transfer to England—until Von Rundstedt's armor smashes through the Ardennes Forest and pins his squad directly in the path of a Nazi breakthrough. As shells rain down and German tanks roll toward their position, Lowden faces an agonizing choice: abandon his men while he still can, or stand with Landusky, Farrel, and the rest of his squad against impossible odds. Watch as a soldier's final hour in combat tests whether duty or survival will win out.

Newly promoted Lt. Mike Andrews commands an M-48 Patton tank in Korea, determined to prove the superior firepower of the new American armor against the Communist T-34s that have been terrorizing Ash-Can Ridge. When a mysterious enemy tank emerges as the ridge's newest threat, Andrews and his crew face their toughest challenge yet in a high-stakes clash of steel and firepower.

A U.S. Army Staff Sergeant in the Special Forces trains a Vietnamese paratrooper team in the tactics of guerrilla warfare, working to strengthen local defenses against Viet-Cong incursion. Part soldier, part teacher, and part healer, he brings expertise in combat, demolition, medicine, and communications to bear on a delicate mission where winning the trust of the local population is as vital as winning the fight. "The Man in the Green Beret" gives a ground-level look at the unconventional role Special Forces operatives played in Vietnam, balancing military instruction with the hard work of building village defenses and preparing indigenous forces to hold their ground.

When Japanese forces attempt a massive amphibious landing to outflank Dog Company's position, Captain Wes Lundeen seizes a desperate opportunity: instead of waiting for the assault to overwhelm his exhausted men, he leads the company down to the beach to intercept the troop barges before they can unload. With machine guns, bazookas, and grenades, Dog Company turns the tide in a single night—stopping the build-up cold and forcing a surrender that no one, least of all Lundeen himself, expected to achieve.
