From the New York Times bestselling author, Adam Makos,
comes the riveting World War II story of an American tank
gunner’s journey into the heart of the Third Reich, where he
will meet destiny in an iconic armor duel—and forge an enduring
bond with his enemy. When Clarence Smoyer is assigned to the
gunner’s seat of his Sherman tank, his crewmates discover that
the gentle giant from Pennsylvania has a hidden talent: He\’s a
natural-born shooter. At first, Clarence and his fellow crews in
the legendary 3rd Armored Division—“Spearhead”—thought their
tanks were invincible. Then they met the German Panther, with a
gun so murderous it could shoot through one Sherman and into the
next. Soon a pattern emerged: The lead tank always gets hit.
Battling through the ruins, Clarence will engage the fearsome
Panther in a duel immortalized by an army cameraman. And he will
square off with Gustav Schaefer, a teenager behind the trigger
in a Panzer IV tank, whose crew has been sent on a suicide
mission to stop the Americans.
