☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains four war stories: "Spearhead Assault," in which American soldiers use a clever tank strategy to destroy an enemy tank column during a frontal assault; "Invasion Top Secret," where a radar beam trick leads American forces into a Russian zone; "Trapped in Hell," depicting soldiers caught in the middle of a barrage while guarding cargo; and "The Red Goons of Berlin," showing American infantry defending against a major Soviet assault along the Austrian border, with multiple divisions mobilized to counter the enemy advance.
A submarine invasion fleet emerges off the Japanese coast with a deadly surprise attack in mind, but twelve American infantrymen find themselves unexpectedly positioned right behind enemy lines—and ready to turn the tables. Stranded after a harrowing glider landing deep in hostile territory, this small band of soldiers must decide whether to slip back to their own lines or strike where it counts most. Their choice sets off a desperate mission to cripple the invaders' plans from within.
A peaceful food convoy rolling through Western Berlin becomes the target of a coordinated Red assault, leaving just three G.I.s—Danny, Pete Manning, and Joey—to turn the tide. When the soldiers realize the attackers aren't destroying the supplies but stealing them, they hitch a desperate ride to uncover the enemy's smuggling operation. What they discover in an abandoned factory could change everything about the conflict in Berlin.
When a U.S. transport carrying top-secret prototype weapons is tricked into flying deep over Siberia by a Russian radar decoy, twenty G.I.'s find themselves forced to crash-land behind enemy lines with their cargo—and the Red Army closing in fast. Trapped on a mountainside with Soviet forces surrounding them, the soldiers must rely on the very experimental weapons they were supposed to test in order to fight their way out and reach the safety of the Yangyon River.
When enemy spearheads punch across the Austrian border in a calculated assault on U.S. supply centers, American forces scramble to mount a defense—but intelligence reveals the Reds are operating without visible supply lines, an impossible feat that demands investigation. A twelve-man patrol from K Company's Third Platoon infiltrates deep into enemy territory to uncover the secret, and what they discover leads to a desperate midnight raid that could turn the tide of the battle. With nothing but rifles and their wits against an arsenal hidden inside a mountain, these G.I.'s must pull off the impossible—or watch Europe fall.
