Fightin' Army #55

A tough tank sergeant named Ernie Carr ends up in a brutal Communist P.O.W. camp after a fierce battle at the Chosen Reservoir, and he quickly learns there's a traitor in the compound tipping off the guards to escape attempts. When Carr resolves to break out himself, he'll have to figure out who's selling out his fellow prisoners—before it's too late.

Colonel Joe Jacobson wasn't the desk-bound type—he was always where the fighting was thickest, and he had an eye for exceptional soldiers. When he spotted a sergeant with a heavy mortar who refused to fire on a church despite orders, the Colonel knew he'd found exactly the kind of warrior he needed. Over the following days, Sergeant Benner and a young driver become indispensable to Jacobson's relentless push through the Nazi lines, their firepower turning the tide in desperate battles across open ground.

A soldier determined to survive Korea by playing it safe discovers that caution and heroism aren't always opposing forces when his platoon faces overwhelming enemy fire on a exposed knoll. As P.F.C. Angert reluctantly finds himself taking charge to keep his brothers alive, he learns that staying alive and doing what needs to be done aren't mutually exclusive—even if it means earning the nickname of a coward.

A young Marine lieutenant fresh from training takes command of a hardened platoon on Guadalcanal during the closing days of the campaign, and the grizzled sergeants aren't convinced he'll last long enough to learn the ropes. As the unit pushes toward Kangi Ridge, he'll have to prove himself under fire—dodging enemy tricks, calling in artillery strikes, and keeping his men alive through brutal jungle warfare. Eleven days of combat will test whether this green officer can earn the respect of soldiers who've already buried two platoon leaders.

Daniel Boone's personal courage and mastery of woodcraft made him one of America's greatest pioneers—a man who served with distinction during the French and Indian Wars and later ventured into the untamed wilderness of Kentucky to explore and establish settlements. Despite fierce resistance from Native Americans and multiple captures, Boone persevered in building a defended stockade that would grow into the town of Boonesboro, opening vast new territories for American expansion. His legacy of fearless frontier exploration earned him a place in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans.
