ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week Tucker is joined by guest Adam Makos, the New York Times bestselling author of A Higher Call, Spearhead, and Devotion, to talk about his new book, Tidal Wave. They start with the low-level B-24 raid on Ploesti, then follow what came after, when an American pilot, a Romanian princess, and an enemy ace ended up on the same side. We go through everything the book has to offer and hear Adam's insights. It's an incredible book, read it for yourself!
