Army War Heroes #11

After 76 days of brutal combat that's devastated Able Company, Captain Nick Bernard's mind finally gives way to combat fatigue, leaving Sergeant Klein and the men without their leader as Nazi forces close in for a killing blow. With Bernard withdrawn from reality and morale crumbling, the outfit begins to fall apart—until a German attack forces a shocking turn that may bring their captain back from the edge just when they need him most. This gripping wartime drama explores the psychological toll of command and the razor's edge between breakdown and redemption under fire.

When M/Sgt. Joe Lapuska and his driver Red McCarty set out to deliver mail to a rifle company near Faid Pass in Tunisia, they're caught in the crosshairs of the Luftwaffe—and a strafing run forces them into a desperate firefight with Nazi fighters and armor across the Sahara. Joined by downed pilot Lt. Luke Walcott, the three men must outrun Rommel's advancing tanks and neutralize German forces in their path to reach safety. "Sahara Rescue" is a lean, hard-driving tank-and-flyboy action story that packs battle after battle into eight pages of pure North African combat.

Private Huber's cushy courier job ferrying messages for Headquarters Company becomes a harrowing gauntlet when Japanese forces cut off his regiment in northern Luzon—and the only way to break through and call in air support is to race a jeep-mounted machine gun down a road swarming with enemy soldiers. With help from an expert gunner, Huber has to rely on his driving skills and nerve to punch through the ambushes and reach Regimental Command Point before his company is overrun.

As the campaign intensifies, the pressure mounts to drive the Japanese back and break their grip on the Asiatic mainland.
