America's greatest military gamble of World War Two, the invasion of France. This is the background for an epic novel of two tanks. The crewmen of the Sherman M4 are an ill-assorted bunch of squabbling Americans, forced to swallow their differences in order to survive. The German Tiger is manned by fanatical young Nazis, Hitler Youth, and led by a tough veteran of the bitter war on the Eastern Front. The Sherman and the Tiger clash in a series of desperate fights during the early days of the invasion. Only the savage power of the guns and the courage of the crews will decide who survives to emerge victorious. Fury of the Tiger is a powerful and engaging story based on the so-called Battle of the Hedgerows, the Allied struggle for Normandy. Based on real events, this will grab the reader from the first page. Fury of the Tiger was written by the bestselling author of many popular war thrillers. These include the Seal Team Bravo series, the Echo Six series, and the Devil's Guard series.

An American journalist returns to Germany, his birthplace, to be a part of the miracle that Hitler is creating. When war breaks out he joins an SS War Correspondents Unit. A futile attempt to stop the SS killing prisoners in France results in a sentence to Mauthausen Concentration Camp. His only escape from the living hell of the camp is to join a police battalion, SS Sonderbattalion Dirlewanger. He is pitched into the maelstrom of the battlefront in Russia, but quickly finds that behind the lines murder on a vast scale is being committed. The wholesale slaughter that Dirlewanger's men inflict on the innocent civilian population of Occupied Eastern Europe is an evil that almost defies description. His fight is no longer against the enemies of the Third Reich, but a race to prevent some of the worst of the atrocities perpetrated by his own SS colleagues. A superb, fact-based account of the war behind the lines on the Eastern Front in World War Two.
