Battle Squadron #4

S/SGT. Dickson, a card sharp who thrives on bluffing his way through poker games, finds himself holding something far more valuable than a winning hand when his unit encounters a desperate German column in the North African ruins of Sadi Bari. With ammo running low and the enemy willing to do anything for water after three waterless days, Dickson trades on his nerve and gambling instincts to turn the tide—but only if his boldest bluff yet can break their will before it breaks his. It's a gamble that could save the base at Bengazi, or cost everything.

When Japanese forces sweep into Burma in late 1941, they threaten to sever the vital supply line feeding China's desperate resistance—the Burma Road. British troops dig in at Mandalay, but outnumbered and outgunned, they're forced to retreat into the jungle where ambush and terrain become their only weapons. As the Japanese consolidate their hold on Southeast Asia, the Allies face a grim strategic reckoning: the road to China is cut, and hope grows perilously thin.

When the Allies turn their attention to the overlooked Burma Theatre in 1943, they devise an audacious plan: construct the Ledo Road to reconnect China with vital supplies and bring their beleaguered armies back into the fight. Follow the dramatic effort to move war materiel across oceans and jungles, brave convoy crews battling Axis submarines, and a multinational force of soldiers assembling in the dense jungle, ready to punch through enemy lines and carve a road to victory.

As war-weary soldiers rotate out of the front lines, fresh airborne infantry arrive to keep the momentum rolling—and engineers must push forward at all costs, hacking the legendary Ledo Road through treacherous jungle and mountain terrain to reopen supply lines to China. With Japanese forces mounting desperate ambushes and retreats, the battle becomes a grueling test of will: can the Allies build faster than the enemy can destroy, and will that crucial first convoy make it through to break the siege?
