About This Book
A company of young American soldiers advances from trenches into enemy territory, moving through fierce skirmishes, bayonet charges, and armored engagements toward the Rhine. The episodic narrative depicts close combat, reconnaissance and sabotage missions, tense rescues, and encounters with disguised officers and enemy plots while chronicling surrender and the march of occupation. Chapters balance action scenes with moments of reunion and relief, highlighting camaraderie, quick thinking under fire, and the physical and moral strain of sustained fighting as the unit presses forward, thwarts a German scheme, and takes part in the final crossing and aftermath.
