Army War Heroes #17

In March 1945, as American forces push toward Berlin, Captain Saunders' unit receives orders to take a German-held village by nightfall—only to discover that every weapon across the river is manned by boys barely in their teens. With the moral weight of that knowledge, Saunders orders his men to take the village without killing the young soldiers unless absolutely necessary, setting up a clash between military duty and conscience as the assault begins.

A medic named Gannon is thrust into the chaos of combat in Vietnam, moving between tending wounded soldiers and civilians and the brutal realities of active firefighting. When tragedy strikes close to home, he's left to complete an unfinished letter—one that carries far more weight than the words on the page. This unflinching portrait of a soldier's dual burden shows how even in the midst of war, the human connections we hold onto matter most.

Sergeant James Gentry, an American soldier in the British Army, is captured by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel himself following a German victory in the North African desert. What begins as an interrogation takes an unexpected turn when Rommel and Gentry engage in a philosophical debate about duty, honor, and the true nature of the war they're fighting. The Desert Fox makes a decision that will haunt Gentry's reputation for years to come.

Lt. Delmar C. Brown, a decorated soldier haunted by one fatal flaw—stubborn refusal to follow orders—accepts a hazardous mission to keep a Japanese force pinned down on an uncharted island while the Battle of Iwo Jima unfolds. With just fifty men against five thousand enemy troops, Brown and his squad execute a brilliant series of hit-and-run attacks that devastate the Japanese ranks and prevent reinforcements from reaching Iwo. When ordered to evacuate, Brown's blind determination leads him to ignore his commanding officer's direct command with consequences that prove impossible to overcome.
