Summary
It’s summer 1943, and the world is at war.
Lieutenant Ernie Poulson, a 22-year-old outdoorsman from Utah finds himself at the controls of America’s most advanced bomber, the B-24, brought to North Africa for a top-secret mission.
On the far side of Europe, Lieutenant Constantin Cantacuzino, a Romanian ace, duels Soviet fighters on the Eastern Front while searching for purpose in an unwinnable war.
In Nazi-aligned Romania, Princess Catherine Caradja walks a perilous line between loyalty to her country and quiet defiance, as German forces fortify the oil refineries in her backyard.
And in the royal palace, 22-year-old King Michael of Romania —mocked and sidelined by a Nazi-backed dictator—plots to seize his nation’s destiny before it is lost forever.
In Tidal Wave, Adam Makos brings these seemingly disconnected lives together in a sweeping saga of combat, courage, and survival, set against history’s most audacious air raid: the treetop assault on “Hitler’s gas station” at Ploesti, Romania. What begins in disaster on August 1, 1943, sparks bonds no one could have foreseen—alliances between enemies—that will decide whether these men and women are destroyed by war, or seize their chance at escape and redemption.
A story long in the shadows, from an untold arena of World War II, Tidal Wave will remind you that humanity can emerge even in the darkest moments of war.
