"A band of brothers in an American tank . . . Makos drops the reader back into the Pershing's turret and dials up a battle scene to rival the peak moments of Fury."
--The Wall Street Journal

From the author of the international bestseller A Higher Call 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.

After Clarence sees his friends cut down breaching the West Wall and holding the line in the Battle of the Bulge, he and his crew are given a weapon with the power to avenge their fallen brothers: the Pershing, a state-of-the-art "super tank," one of twenty in the European theater.

But with it comes a harrowing new responsibility: Now they will spearhead every attack. That's how Clarence, the corporal from coal country, finds himself leading the U.S. Army into its largest urban battle of the European war, the fight for Cologne, the "Fortress City" of Germany.

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.

As Clarence and Gustav trade fire down a long boulevard, they are taken by surprise by a tragic mistake of war. What happens next will haunt Clarence to the modern day, drawing him back to Cologne to do the unthinkable: to face his enemy, one last time.

Praise for Spearhead

"A detailed, gripping account . . . the remarkable story of two tank crewmen, from opposite sides of the conflict, who endure the grisly nature of tank warfare."
--USA Today (four out of four stars)

"Strong and dramatic . . . Makos established himself as a meticulous researcher who's equally adept at spinning a good old-fashioned yarn. . . . For a World War II aficionado, it will read like a dream."
--Associated Press

Simple, reliable, and gets the job done
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
These are exactly what you expect from Bounty—strong, absorbent, and dependable. They hold up well without tearing easily, even when dealing with messier meals. I like that they feel a bit thicker than generic napkins, so you don’t end up using a handful every time. Great for everyday use, whether it’s quick snacks or full meals. The pack size is convenient and lasts a while, which makes it a solid value. Nothing fancy here, just a product that consistently does what it’s supposed to do. If you want quality napkins without surprises, these are a safe pick.

The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Napkin - Years of Trusted Quality!
Size: 400 Count
I've been using Bounty paper products for years, and these white napkins absolutely live up to the brand's excellent reputation. There's a reason they're my go-to choice for both napkins and paper towels - they truly are "the quicker picker upper" as their slogan says! The 400-count package offers great value, and I appreciate how these napkins maintain their strength even when wet. Their absorbency is unmatched compared to other brands I've tried. They're perfect for everyday meals, but also work well for casual entertaining since they look clean and presentable. What many people don't realize is just how versatile these napkins are! I sometimes even use them to wash dishes when I need something extra absorbent and sturdy. They don't disintegrate like cheaper napkins and can handle tougher cleaning jobs with ease. If you're looking for reliable, multi-purpose paper napkins that actually work, I highly recommend sticking with Bounty. There's a reason they've been my trusted choice for so many years!

Excellent, highly absorbent, napkins for every meal
Size: 400 Count
These napkins are amazing! They are soft and plushy feeling. The absorption is incredible and they have a nice , comfortable texture for wiping your hands and face when eating. I believe these can also be used as a paper towel when needed because the absorbency is so great. I am very sensitive to scents which I pick up on more than the average person and these napkins do not have a weird smell to them . I think these are great napkins for all to enjoy. The price is very reasonable for the amount I received (400ct) 🤗❤️
