Spearhead
A Novel-

Here is the most realistic and spontaneous novel which has yet come
out of the war. It is the story of the little man in uniform, who must witness
and participate in the carnage and uncertainty of warfare and of how, on
his small plane, he reacts to it.
SPEARHEAD is a microcosm of modern war. In it you will live
through every moment Qf the life and death of a company of soldiers.
Wars are fought by higher headquarters on detajled maps, but not so the
boys in Battery C. Their lives and deaths are utterly dependent on the
split-second decisions of their battery leaders, and while they can sense
the frictions and animosities of their officers, they are helpless to do any–
thing but obey.
