The Deep Pacific

April 1943. The tide is turning, and the Empire knows it.

Jack "Gibby" Gibson has 31 confirmed kills and a reputation that precedes him. But the war in the South Pacific is no longer about aces and dogfights. It is about attrition, supply, and the slow strangulation of an enemy that will not surrender. From the jungle airstrips of Dobodura to the burning skies over Rabaul, the men of the 94th Fighter Group fight a different kind of war-one measured in fuel, in steel, and in the empty revetments where friends used to park their planes.

Across the ocean, in the flag country of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto reaches a conclusion his government cannot say aloud: the war is already lost. The only question that remains is how it ends, and who will be left to end it.

The Deep Pacific is the third novel in The American War, the acclaimed alternate history series that reimagines the Pacific conflict from the moment America saw Pearl Harbor coming. Spanning the cockpit and the war room, the home front and the high command, it is a story about the cost of winning-and the men on both sides who paid it.

For readers of W.E.B. Griffin, Jeff Shaara, and Herman Wouk.
