Burma, 1944. The deadliest battlefield is the one no one remembers.
Captain Thomas Callahan of OSS Detachment 101 is dropped deep behind Japanese lines with a handful of American operatives and a band of fearless Kachin Rangers. Their mission is to wage a secret war-destroy supply lines, gather intelligence, and keep one step ahead of the ruthless Colonel Hiroshi Takeda, a commander determined to crush the Allied resistance in northern Burma.
As the jungle becomes a battlefield of ambushes, hidden tunnels, sabotage, and survival, Callahan's team uncovers a devastating Japanese operation that threatens not only the Allied campaign but the lives of thousands of civilians. Outnumbered, outgunned, and hunted through some of the harshest terrain on Earth, the patrol must rely on courage, ingenuity, and the unwavering loyalty of their Kachin allies.
From explosive railway raids and daring rescues to desperate last stands in forgotten valleys, Ghosts of the Hukawng Valley is an epic World War II adventure inspired by the real exploits of OSS Detachment 101 and the legendary Kachin Rangers.
Rich in historical detail, relentless action, and unforgettable characters, this is a gripping tale of sacrifice, friendship, and the hidden heroes whose courage helped shape the Burma Campaign-yet whose names were almost lost to history.
Perfect for readers of Alan Furst, W.E.B. Griffin, Jeff Shaara, and fans of authentic World War II military fiction, Ghosts of the Hukawng Valley shines a light on one of the most remarkable-and least-known-special operations of the Second World War.
