Synopsis

Assault Troop Series
This is the third 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.

RHINE CROSSING!
Now the massed Allied armies, crouched like some huge armoured beast, waited for the final decisive push across the Rhine into the German heartland.
Day and night the heavy bombers dropped their creeping barrage of death and destruction onto the enemy who waited, dug-in, across the ominous bullet-whipped river.
Captain Corrigan's battle-toughened Assault Troop, on detachment to a green, tall-talking Texan division, led by officers too self-important to take advice, knew that a bloody baptism of battle, death and mutilation was about to sweep over their so-called allies.
The Germans would kill with professional skill but the Texans could get them all slaughtered through arrogant incompetence.
