In the smoke and thunder of the Second World War's most daring river crossing, a battle-hardened assault troop is thrust into the heart of Operation Varsity — the Allied push across the Rhine that would crack open Nazi Germany's final defences. Clash on the Rhine, the third instalment in Ian Harding's Assault Troop series, chronicles the desperate struggle of elite soldiers parachuting into enemy-held territory, fighting yard by bloody yard against a Wehrmacht refusing to yield. Harding captures the chaos of combat with visceral authenticity, placing the reader shoulder-to-shoulder with men for whom every hedgerow and bombed-out farmhouse is a potential grave. Harding's prose is lean and kinetic, stripped of sentimentality but never of humanity — a style perfectly suited to the unrelenting tempo of late-war Western Front action. The Assault Troop series built a loyal readership among fans of British war fiction for its unflinching depiction of soldierly brotherhood and tactical ingenuity under fire. With the Rhine crossing as its backdrop, this volume raises the stakes to their highest yet, leaving the reader to wonder just how many of these men will live to see the peace they are fighting so ferociously to win.
