Overview
The complete SIX-BOOK bestselling series that has sold over a million copies. Devil’s Guard traces the exploits of a German who fought in World War II on the Eastern Front, and went on to fight for the French and then the Americans in Vietnam. This massive volume includes the complete text of the novels DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND SNOW, DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND IRON, DEVIL’S GUARD: THE REAL STORY, DEVIL’S GUARD: VIETNAM, DEVIL’S GUARD: COUNTERATTACK, AND DEVIL’S GUARD: AFGHANISTAN. These epic novels are a breathtaking account of the harsh, brutal reality of one man’s war.
Jurgen Hoffman’s grueling career takes him from the vast snowy wastelands of the Russian Steppes, all the way to the steaming jungles of Vietnam. His enemy shouts the same, shrill slogans, and uses the same weapons. On the Eastern Front in Russia, they call themselves communists. In Vietnam, they are the Vietcong. Their motivation is the same. Killing, and more killing. To subdue and terrorize those who would challenge their absolute authority.
This is a fictional tale of the part one man played in the long, bloody battles. It is also the story of millions of fighting men. Of their guns, their tanks, their airplanes, and for some, their women.
Six full length novels. A rip roaring read from the first page to the last.
This box-set includes every book in the bestselling Devil’s Guard series:
DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND SNOW
It is February 1943 in the snowy wastes around Kharkov, in the Soviet Union. Stalingrad has fallen and a resurgent Soviet army is pushing the German forces back. Newly commissioned Jurgen Hoffman takes up his posting with SS Division Das Reich, part of von Manstein's Army Group South. He soon displays formidable military talents in a series of brutal, hard fought actions, but he finds his enemies do not all wear Russian uniform.
DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND IRON
The second thrilling book in the Devil's Guard series. The SS Officer Jurgen Hoffman has another battle to face. Kursk, the showdown between German and Soviet armor. The story begins before the battle when the commanders of both sides are fighting an intelligence war. Sent on a mission behind the lines into the heavily defended Kursk salient, Hoffman and the remnants of his platoon fight their way back to their own lines.
DEVIL’S GUARD: THE REAL STORY
The French Foreign Legion recruited widely from German soldiers left unemployed and homeless by the defeat of Germany in 1945. They offered a new identity and passport to men who could bring their fighting skills to the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become Vietnam. They were ruthless, trained killers, brutalized by the war on the Eastern Front, their murderous abilities honed to a razor's edge.
DEVIL’S GUARD: VIETNAM
There is to be no respite for the Waffen-SS veterans who fought for the French against the Vietcong. Some of the veterans still fight the communists, but this time for the Americans. Jurgen Hoffman and Paul Schuster are compelled to use their brutal fighting skills and expert knowledge of the terrain to once more wage a secret war in the steaming cauldron of the South East Asian jungle. The Devil's Guard is on the march again.
DEVIL’S GUARD: COUNTERATTACK
It is 1968, and the fighting in Vietnam escalates. Body counts continue to rise, and the fighter-bombers and gunships prowl the skies in the relentless hunt for their elusive enemy. Jurgen Hoffman is no longer in uniform. He runs a small civilian airline, with other old comrades from his time with the French Foreign Legion. They have left the war behind, until their hopes of peace are abruptly shattered.
DEVIL’S GUARD: AFGHANISTAN
The war in Vietnam is over, yet the descendants of those who fought there are pulled into a new war. Afghanistan. Flying freight for his bush pilot airline, Max Hoffman, descendant of an alternative agenda – personal gain and profit at any cost.
