Must read.

It’s been a long time since I have enjoyed a book this much- maybe never. And I read a lot of books! Unlike some true accounts of WW2, this powerful piece never slows down with names of every soldier or officer in the armed forces. What a drag that can be. However, in this account only the main characters are discussed and made very personal to the reader. And the descriptions of the tank battles and lives of the tankers is spellbinding. This author doesn’t skip a beat. I found that I literally knew nothing about what these men went through , be it the heat of battle, the horror involved in same, or the very personal emotions they experienced. The author tells the story from both sides, allied and German. The epilogue is terrific as well. Final word- Get it, Read it!

Good story

Definitely one book I’m going to pass down to my gunners

Book blends the history & human toll paid by both sides

Truly one of the Best books I’ve read about the Warriors of WWII. Very Humbling! Thank you for my freedom!

My father was a history teacher and I spent much of my youth reading about WWII. My life’s path did not include serving, I can only attempt to get my mind wrapped around what what it must have been like. I’ve read many many books, by many authors, Adam Makos has a gift. I read “A Higher Call” and “Spearhead” back to back over a weekend. The author has a rare gift of combining the sweep of history with the very personal stories of brave men and women on both sides of the conflict. Deeply moving stories, immersive writing, simply brilliant.

One of the best accounts of World War II, through the eyes of a Tank Gunner. Unbelievable action packed drama from Normandy to the very end of the war. A permanent part of my library! Daniel Pero

This story, along with the authors other writings, have a way of bringing you right alongside the sacrifices and pain of ordinary men and women that served in World War II.

Adam makos makes such great books! They all flow and make you feel like you’re there with the crew!
