Fightin' Army #72

Captain "Poison" Personby runs Charlie Company with an iron fist during the brutal 1943 Italian campaign, earning nothing but contempt from his men as they struggle to hold Cemetery Hill against relentless German artillery. When Personby falls in the crossfire, his soldiers must decide whether to risk their lives retrieving him—and confront what they really think of the man they've learned to hate.

A nineteen-year-old soldier joins his platoon on a Korean hilltop held against repeated Communist assaults, terrified he won't survive his first night of combat. As mortar fire rains down and waves of Chinese forces attack under the cover of darkness, he discovers reserves of courage he didn't know he had—and when dawn finally breaks, he understands he's been forged into something harder. "The First Night" captures that pivotal moment when a green recruit becomes a soldier, one harrowing night at a time.

On June 6, 1944, American paratroopers drop behind German lines in Normandy as Operation Overlord begins—the largest amphibious invasion in history. Wave after wave of assault infantry storms the beaches under relentless bombardment from air and sea, facing devastating German defenses: barbed wire, machine gun nests, and hidden mines that claim thousands of lives. By nightfall, despite the horrific cost, the Allies have carved out a beachhead and pushed inland, dealing a crushing blow to Nazi occupation.

When 1st Sgt. Neil Finley's unit discovers that a company of Viet Cong has disguised themselves as ARVN troops to slip past American patrols, he hatches a daring plan to turn the tables—warning a nearby village of an impending guerrilla raid, then moving in to ambush the enemy when they return to their hidden base camp. With his fire team vastly outnumbered, Finley must rely on speed, tactics, and his men's discipline to survive the jungle engagement and pull off the impossible.
