Spearhead: An American Tank Gunner, His Enemy, and a Collision of Lives in World War II Free Audiobook Download by Adam Makos

One of the most harrowing and an incredible story, Spearhead is a captivating read about a tank gunner during World War II. As a sergeant, he was assigned to be in charge of off-loading the ammunition from tanks that had been attacked. Sergeant Jones headed back to his tank after unloading just one Tiger tank loaded with ammo when he encountered 'a huge German Tank'. The Germans had destroyed his tank and Jones was forced to surrender. He spent the last few years of the war as a prisoner while trying to piece together what happened on that fateful day.

Set in the midst of World War II, Spearhead tells the story of American tank gunner Joe Toye and his battle against German infantryman Adolf Hitler. After having been captured by the enemy, Joe's life is spared. But his enemy is not so lucky. The stories of both soldiers are intertwined as they try to survive at the same time.

Johnathan Mcclain narrates this book, taking the place of Adam Makos. A lot of books can be read from the perspective of a narrator or author, but this book takes a unique twist by having two different points of view through two different narration styles. Men at War is about the tank gunner and what it was like to be on the front lines of WWII.

In 1944, a young American tank gunner and his crew were ordered on their first mission. They were to destroy enemy forces at the heavily fortified town of Bastogne. The Americans had been attacking for days in order to force the Germans out. Spearhead is told through the eyes of Joseph P. Speyer, the tank driver, who is tasked with navigating through snow-covered fields and defiles riddled by deep ravines while being under constant German fire.
