Battlefield Action #25

A tough first sergeant and a city boy drafted into the Army clash in the North African desert during World War II, with M/SGT. Hobe Harkness pushing his reluctant soldier Dalmus to the breaking point—until a moment of brutal combat forces them both to see each other differently. When their paths cross again years later in Europe, Dalmus, now a captain, discovers that the iron-fisted topkick he once despised carries far deeper wounds than any shell could inflict. A story about the price of leadership, the cost of survival, and what it takes to earn a soldier's respect.

In the Korean mud, an M-24 self-propelled gun nicknamed "the Beast" becomes bogged down just when a hilltop squad desperately needs its firepower against massed communist forces. With mechanical troubles limiting the gun's mobility, the crew and supporting infantry must find an unconventional way to get the heavy piece into position—and then hold the line against enemy tanks and charging troops. It's a tense race against mud, machinery, and the enemy clock.

A lone soldier in Charlie Company refuses friendship and company support, convinced he's cursed with bad luck—until a German tank attack at St. Lô forces him into heroic action that saves his entire unit. As the outfit fights its way across Europe toward Berlin, Harrigan discovers that his teammates won't abandon him, no matter how hard he pushes them away, and that sometimes the greatest luck is having people who believe in you.
