Assault Troop #2
Death in the Forest
Assault Troop Series
This is the second in a series of 4 books about Assault Troop, the specially armoured infantry who precede the main advance to 'soften up' the opposition. Led by the rebellious Captain Corrigan, this particular troop form part of the 'Iron Division' during the 1944/45 European campaign.
ARDENNES BLOODBATH
The Iron Division's war-hardened Assault Troop moves into battle again — as the Nazi army attacks one last time through the Ardennes.
But to carry out their secret reconnaissance mission,
Corrigan and his men must take on three armies.
Between their German objective and the British lines lies a well-armed gang of American deserters. And another army — of escaped Russian prisoners, crazed with bloodlust and fear — roams the forest attacking
Germans and Allies alike.
