Highway Through Hell: A hard-hitting military adventure
It’s another adventure for the T-Force commandos! Perfect for fans of David Beatty, John Wingate and Derek Robinson.
What lies in wait on the Siegfried Line…?
France, December 1944
The American Army are advancing towards Hitler’s Reich, but first they must cross the heavily fortified Siegfried Line.
Frustrated by the lack of Intelligence on the strength of German defences there, General Patton turns to his trusty T-Force squadron once again.
The élite reconnaissance unit under the command of battle-scared Major Harry Hardt must fight their way through from Luxembourg to Bastogne to find a route for the Fourth Armoured Division and relieve the beleaguered troops besieged in the town before Christmas.
With freezing conditions and an increasingly desperate enemy, is the ambitious Patton asking too much?
Or will T-Force be able to deliver once again…?
HIGHWAY THROUGH HELL is the third book in the T-Force Thriller action-packed historical adventures following the fortunes of the élite United States Commandoes fighting in the Second World War.

About the author
Charles Whiting
258 books52 followersCharles Whiting was a British writer and military historian and with some 350 books of fiction and non-fiction to his credit, under his own name and a variety of pseudonyms including Ian Harding, Duncan Harding, K.N. Kostov, John Kerrigan, Klaus Konrad, and Leo Kessler.
Born in the Bootham area of York, England, he was a pupil at the prestigious Nunthorpe Grammar School, leaving at the age of 16 to join the British Army by lying about his age. Keen to be in on the wartime action, Whiting was attached to the 52nd Reconnaissance Regiment and by the age of 18 saw duty as a sergeant in France, Holland, Belgium and Germany in the latter stages of World War II. While still a soldier, he observed conflicts between the highest-ranking British and American generals which he would write about extensively in later years.
After the war, he stayed on in Germany completing his A-levels via correspondence course and teaching English before being enrolled at Leeds University reading History and German Language. As an undergraduate he was afforded opportunities for study at several European universities and, after gaining his degree, would go on to become an assistant professor of history. Elsewhere, Whiting held a variety of jobs which included working as a translator for a German chemical factory and spells as a publicist, a correspondent for The Times and feature writer for such diverse magazines as International Review of Linguistics, Soldier and Playboy.
His first novel was written while still an undergraduate, was published in 1954 and by 1958 had been followed by three wartime thrillers. Between 1960 and 2007 Charles went on to write over 350 titles, including 70 non-fiction titles covering varied topics from the Nazi intelligence service to British Regiments during World War II.
One of his publishers, Easingwold-based Rupert Smith of GH Smith & Son said he was a quiet man and prolific writer.
"He's one of a band of forgotten authors because he sold millions of copies and still, up to his death was doing publishing deals.He was the kind of man who was very self-effacing, one of Britain's forgotten authors, still working at 80 years of age, with his nose down and kicking out books."
Charles Henry Whiting, author and military historian died on July 24 2007, leaving his wife and son.
