Spearhead is a fictional account of U.S. Army artillery and infantry units at the start of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Initially forced to retreat, the men try to regain the offensive under heavy ground fire and aerial bombardment. Tensions mount between several of the officers, one of German descent, who are at odds over the nature of evil and the war. Their differences become especially apparent in their views of Germans and Naziism, and is reflected in their differing treatment of their captured prisoners-of-war. Spearhead is filled with details based on the author’s own wartime experiences, and examines the deeper moral questions of the conflict.

In 1934-1960, Martin Abzug worked in his family’s New York garment business and wrote freelance articles about economic issues. In this period, he wrote two novels - "Spearhead" and "Seventh Avenue Story."
Spearhead, published in 1946, follows Lieutenant Knupfer, an average military man, and Captain Hollis, a once-timid man who became a killer, for several days during the U.S. Army artillery battery retreat during the Battle of the Bulge. According to John Barkham in Saturday Review of Literature, the book is "an honest, unpretentious, sometimes moving novel whose sober worth well merits recognition."
Seventh Avenue Story, published a year after Spearhead, features a young man who founds a garment business in New York. Library Journal reviewer Anne Whitmore called the novel "not an important book, but an interesting picture of a unique section of America."
After that time, Martin Abzug worked as a stockbroker for more than twenty years. At the time of his death, he was with the brokerage firm of Philips Appel & Walden Inc.
Just before he died, Abzug completed a book of fiction about a man’s lifelong search for his Nazi persecutor.
