Makos introduces each character nicely into the story. I do not know how Adam Makos is able to come up with not just one (Higher Call), then two (Devotion), now THREE (Spearhead) incredible pieces of history that have and will continue to fascinate everyone!

Well worth reading.I saw this book at Costco, bought it on a whim. by Careful, personal account of a tanker (and a few others) who fought his way across Europe, and engaged in some memorable battles/struggles on the way.
Makos' schtick seems to be to tell a very engaging war story and to tie together characters from both sides of the conflict at some point. The book has three parts, in my mind. by Part one is the battles from just after D-day, where the book starts, up to and including the Battle of the Bulge.

During the day, I couldn’t wait for night time so I could get back to the book.
